Daily Habits for Throat Health

This is usually the easiest and quickest type of rhinoscopy, often done right in our office during a regular check-up. We use a nasal speculum, which looks a bit like tweezers with rounded ends, to gently widen your nostril. A bright light, usually from a headlight worn by the doctor, is used to illuminate the area. You won't need any anesthesia for this, and most patients find it quite manageable.

Greetings! Your throat plays vital roles in multiple bodily functions. At MyENTCare ENT clinic in Cushendall, we believe that early detection is the best medicine for optimal ENT function. Today we'll discuss maintaining pharynx wellness.

Stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, especially water.
Try to stay away from things that can irritate your throat, like cigarette smoke, pollution in the air, and strong smells from chemicals.

This technique involves using a thin, wikime.co flexible tube with a tiny camera and light at the end. This allows the doctor to view the larynx and surrounding areas through the nasal passages. We typically perform this in the office, and we'll use a local anesthetic spray to numb your nasal passages. Flexible laryngoscopy is excellent for evaluating how you swallow, the movement of your vocal cords, and other real-time functions of your throat.

For indirect laryngoscopy, you'll typically sit upright in the examination chair. Your doctor might spray a local anesthetic in your throat to help reduce any gag reflex. Then, the doctor will gently insert the mirror into your mouth and use the headlight to see your larynx. You might be asked to extend your tongue or make specific sounds during the examination to aid visualization. This is usually a quick procedure, often lasting only a few minutes, and while it's not typically painful, you might feel some pressure or a mild tickling sensation.

If you're having a flexible rhinoscopy, you'll probably just sit in a chair in our office. Your doctor will spray a local anesthetic into your nasal passages to numb the area. Then, the thin, flexible tube with the camera will be gently inserted into one of your nostrils and guided through your nasal passages. The camera transmits live images to a monitor, allowing the doctor to observe the lining of your nasal cavity, the nasal septum, the turbinates, and the nasopharynx in detail. You might be asked to breathe normally and avoid swallowing if possible during the procedure. This procedure typically takes about 5 to 10 minutes and is generally well-tolerated, though you might experience some pressure or a mild tickling sensation in your nose.

Hi there! Today, we're going to talk about some of the common procedures that ENT specialists perform to help you maintain a healthy throat. ENT specialists handle a lot more than just the occasional sniffle. They're experts in a wide range of conditions that can affect your voice, breathing, and the general well-being of your throat.

Let's talk about some of the important benefits of having a rhinoscopy. It gives us a direct look inside your nose, including the main open space (nasal cavity), the pathways for air (nasal passages), the wall in the middle (septum), and the structures that help with breathing (turbinates), which is really important for finding problems that we might not be able to see with a regular exam. This detailed nasal examination can help identify the cause of nasal congestion, runny nose, nosebleeds, and loss of smell.

Hi everyone! Let's talk about nasal health and explore a common procedure called rhinoscopy. It's one of those things that might seem a little scary if you don't know much about it, so let's break it down together.

The examination of the voice box is a critical aspect of maintaining good throat health. The larynx houses the vocal cords, which play a vital role in both speech and respiration. ENT doctors are trained to carefully assess the structure and function of the larynx to identify any abnormalities that might be affecting your voice or breathing. This examination often involves laryngoscopy, as we've discussed, but can also include other tests to evaluate vocal cord movement and voice quality.
