When the main sensory organs – the ears, nose and throat – fail, our quality of life suffers considerably. If you have symptoms such as difficulty breathing through the nose, have suffered a nose injury, feel unpleasant sensations in the throat area, or are troubled by ear or throat pain, then you need the help of an otorhinolaryngologist (ENT specialist). ENT doctors diagnose diseases of the ears, nose and throat, carry out the necessary examinations (audiometry, endoscopy, biopsy and so on) and prescribe treatment. The 5 most common ENT diseases. ENT disorders can be of all kinds. Seemingly minor troubles – snoring, a sore throat or hearing problems – can turn into cardiovascular disease, tonsillitis or even deafness. It's by no means worth waiting for health problems to sort themselves out, because in certain cases waiting can lead to tragic consequences. The most common ENT diseases:

1. A runny nose (cold). A runny nose strikes patients of any age, especially the little ones. Of course, an ordinary runny nose can often be cured at home, but any runny nose can be complicated into more serious conditions such as acute sinusitis and others. Acute sinusitis presents as a blocked nose, a runny nose, throat and headache, and pressure in the sinus area. Chronic sinusitis doesn't cause such obvious symptoms, but untreated it can last for whole years.
2. Ear inflammation. It can be inflammation of the outer, middle or inner ear. Most common is inflammation of the middle ear, which can be caused by a cold, sinusitis or flu.
3. Sore throat. A sore throat is the first sign of a cold for which we turn to the family doctor. In certain cases the family doctor refers you to an ENT doctor, because a sore throat can signal inflammation of the pharynx, or the risk of tonsillitis or pharyngitis.
4. Tonsillitis (angina). This infection presents as a sore throat, fever and weakness. Untreated, the disease can cause conditions such as rheumatism, infectious-allergic myocarditis, otitis, nephritis and others.
5. Allergic rhinitis. This is an acute inflammation of the nasal mucous membrane that occurs during pollen season. It presents as sneezing, a tickling nose, red eyes and watering.
