The ENT department treats conditions of the ear, nose, throat, head and neck, in adults and children. Much of the work is medical, such as sinusitis, allergic rhinitis and ear infection, and the rest is surgical, from tonsil removal to eardrum repair.
Recurrent throat infections in children, blocked noses that never quite clear, and hearing difficulty in older adults are among the most common reasons families in the area come to the department.

Questions patients ask
My child keeps getting throat infections. Do the tonsils need to come out?
No, most children with repeated throat infections do not need their tonsils removed. Surgery is considered when infections are frequent and severe enough to interfere with school over a year or more, when the tonsils are large enough to obstruct breathing or cause snoring with pauses, or when there has been an abscess. An ENT consultation will weigh how often and how badly your child is affected.
Is ear discharge dangerous?
Long-standing ear discharge should never be ignored or treated only with drops from the pharmacy. It usually means a hole in the eardrum with ongoing infection, and over time it can damage hearing and, uncommonly, spread further. Get it examined.
Can I get a hearing test done here?
Audiometry is part of a full ENT assessment, but availability of formal testing on site is being confirmed with the hospital. Call +91 7288 080 222 before your visit and ask, so you are not sent elsewhere for it.
What should I do if something is stuck in the ear or nose?
Do not try to remove it with a cotton bud, tweezers or by blowing hard, as that usually pushes it deeper or causes injury. Come to the hospital and have it removed properly. For a child who has inhaled something and is coughing or struggling to breathe, call +91 9666 469 911 immediately.
Will a blocked nose get better on its own?
Yes, a blocked nose from a cold or allergy usually settles on its own. A nose that stays blocked for months, always on the same side, or comes with bleeding, facial pain or loss of smell needs to be examined properly rather than managed with nasal drops, which cause their own problems with long-term use.
