Many minor ENT concerns resolve on their own, but certain symptoms require specialist care: ### Persistent Sore Throat or Hoarseness If a sore throat or hoarse voice lasts for more than 2 to 3 weeks, it is important to seek a laryngoscopy to check for vocal cord nodules or other issues. ### Chronic Sinus Pressures Sinus pain or nasal blockage that does not respond to standard allergy medications should be checked with a diagnostic nasal endoscopy. ### Hearing Changes Sudden hearing loss, persistent ringing (tinnitus), or chronic ear discharge require immediate professional care to protect your hearing.
