Who is the Best ENT doctor in Dhaka?+
There is no single objectively ‘best’ ENT doctor for every patient or condition. Choose a specialist by checking recognized qualifications, active BMDC registration, relevant ENT training, hospital or clinic affiliation, experience with your specific condition, clear communication and reliable follow-up arrangements.
Which doctor should I see for hearing loss in Dhaka?+
Start with an ENT specialist for an ear examination and a hearing test when indicated. Sudden hearing loss in one ear is time-sensitive and needs urgent ENT assessment; gradual loss should also be evaluated before choosing a hearing device.
Should I see a sinus doctor or an ENT specialist?+
An ENT specialist evaluates persistent nasal blockage, facial pressure, reduced smell, recurrent sinus symptoms and nasal polyps. Nasal endoscopy or a CT scan is advised only when the history, examination or treatment response makes it necessary.
Is pediatric ENT care available in Dhaka?+
Children can be evaluated for adenoid, tonsil, snoring, ear infection, middle-ear fluid and hearing concerns.
Are the videos individual medical advice?+
No. The website and videos are educational; diagnosis requires an in-person clinical assessment.
What is an ENT doctor?+
An ENT doctor, or otolaryngologist, diagnoses and treats conditions of the ears, nose, throat, hearing and balance, as well as related head and neck problems. ENT specialists also perform surgery when needed.
When should I visit an ENT specialist?+
Arrange an ENT assessment for recurrent ear or throat infections, persistent nasal blockage, hearing loss, tinnitus, dizziness, hoarseness lasting more than three weeks, snoring or a neck lump. Sudden hearing loss or breathing difficulty needs urgent care.
Can ENT doctors treat hearing loss?+
Yes. An ENT doctor examines the ears, identifies possible causes and may arrange audiometry or other hearing tests. Depending on the cause, care may include medication, surgery, hearing aids or audiology rehabilitation.
What causes sinus infections?+
Most acute sinus infections begin with a viral cold; a smaller number may be bacterial. Allergy, nasal polyps, a deviated septum, smoke exposure and chronic inflammation can also obstruct sinus drainage.
Is tonsil surgery painful?+
You do not feel pain during surgery because it is performed under anaesthesia. Throat pain and painful swallowing commonly last one to two weeks afterward and are managed with prescribed pain relief, fluids and postoperative instructions. Any bleeding requires urgent medical care.
How is vertigo diagnosed?+
Diagnosis starts with the pattern, duration and triggers of symptoms, followed by ear, eye-movement, balance and neurological examinations. Positional tests, hearing tests or other investigations may be needed. Dizziness with weakness, slurred speech or double vision needs emergency care.
What are the symptoms of nasal polyps?+
Common symptoms include persistent nasal blockage, reduced sense of smell, runny nose, facial pressure and snoring. Nasal examination or endoscopy helps confirm the diagnosis; a one-sided growth with bleeding needs prompt assessment.
Can children see an ENT specialist?+
Yes. Paediatric ENT care includes ear infections, middle-ear fluid, hearing or speech-development concerns, adenoids, tonsils, snoring and foreign bodies in the nose or ear.
Who evaluates vertigo and balance problems?+
An ENT specialist can assess common inner-ear causes of vertigo using the history, eye-movement examination, positional tests and hearing tests when indicated. Weakness, slurred speech, double vision or a sudden severe headache requires emergency assessment.
