What patients say

Stories from patients and families, in their own words.

    Most ear, nose and throat problems settle with the right medicine, used the right way.

    Sprays and drops work only when used correctly, so the technique is shown at the visit. The panel lists the medicine groups you may hear about.

    • Do not put cotton buds, oil or hairpins in the ears.
    • Use decongestant nose drops for no more than five days.
    • Sudden hearing loss in one ear is urgent. See an ENT doctor within a day or two.
