Diagnosis of Ear, Nose & Throat Diseases
Accurate diagnosis of ear, nose, and throat conditions helps identify the underlying cause, assess disease severity, and guide effective treatment, ensuring patients receive expert care from leading Best ENT Doctor in Delhi NCR.
- Clinical Assessment and Physical Examination – Detailed evaluation of medical history, symptoms, and risk factors followed by head, neck, ear, nose, and throat examination.
- Audiometry and Tympanometry – Hearing tests measure sound perception and eardrum movement to detect hearing loss, fluid buildup, or middle ear dysfunction.
- Nasal Endoscopy – A thin flexible scope visualises nasal passages, sinuses, and throat structures, identifying inflammation, polyps, or anatomical issues.
- Imaging Studies (CT, MRI, X-ray) – Advanced scans help detect sinus disease, structural abnormalities, tumours, and disease extent in complex cases.
- Allergy Testing – Pinpointing environmental and food triggers that contribute to nasal congestion, sinusitis, and recurrent throat infections.
- Throat culture and biopsy – Laboratory analysis confirms bacterial or fungal infections and rules out malignancy when needed.
- Sleep Studies – Overnight monitoring of breathing and oxygen levels to evaluate obstructive sleep apnea and related ENT conditions.
- Multidisciplinary Approach – ENT specialists collaborate with audiologists, allergists, and radiologists to ensure a personalised and comprehensive treatment plan.
