What ENT treatment can you have in India?
ENT (ear, nose and throat) surgeons in India's accredited hospitals treat conditions of the ear, nose, sinuses, throat, voice box and neck. Common treatments include endoscopic sinus surgery, septoplasty for a blocked nose, tonsil and adenoid removal, ear drum and middle ear surgery, snoring and sleep apnoea surgery, voice and swallowing procedures, and thyroid and head and neck surgery. Most operations use a camera through the natural openings of the nose, mouth or ear, so there are few or no visible scars. Najmcare reviews your reports free within 24 hours and arranges your visa letter, transport and stay. See our Medical Visa Guide, Cochlear Implants and Audiology & Hearing Care pages.
When should you see an ENT surgeon?
Many ENT problems start mildly. These signs are worth a proper examination, often with a quick camera check of the nose and throat.
Blocked nose for more than 3 months, facial pressure, repeated nosebleeds, loss of smell, nasal polyps.
Ear discharge, a hole in the ear drum, hearing loss in one ear, ringing, dizziness or vertigo.
Hoarseness lasting more than 3 weeks, repeated tonsillitis, trouble swallowing, a feeling of a lump in the throat.
A neck lump, a thyroid swelling, or loud snoring with daytime sleepiness and pauses in breathing.

ENT conditions we treat
Select a condition to see symptoms, treatment, recovery and the time you may need in India.
Chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps
When sinus infections keep returning or polyps block the nose despite medicines, a camera-guided operation opens the sinus drainage pathways.
Deviated septum and turbinate surgery
A bent septum or swollen turbinates can block one or both sides of the nose. Surgery improves breathing. If you also want a shape change, see [Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery](https://najmcare.com/treatments/cosmetic-surgery/cosmetic-reconstructive-surgery/).
Tonsil and adenoid surgery
Removal for repeated infections or breathing problems at night, in children and adults.
Ear drum and middle ear surgery
Repairs a hole in the ear drum, clears chronic ear infection and restores hearing where possible.
Surgery to improve hearing
Some hearing loss can be corrected by surgery, such as otosclerosis. When surgery cannot help, hearing aids or [Cochlear Implants](https://najmcare.com/treatments/ent-hearing-care/cochlear-implants/) may be the answer.
Voice, vocal cord and swallowing care
Assessment and treatment of voice problems using a flexible camera and, where needed, microsurgery.
Snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea
Treatment depends on where the airway collapses. A sleep study and a camera examination guide the plan. Weight-loss surgery is discussed where relevant; see [Bariatric Surgery](https://najmcare.com/treatments/general-surgery/bariatric-surgery/).
Head, neck and thyroid surgery
Surgery for thyroid disease and for tumours of the throat, tongue, salivary glands and neck, planned with your cancer team. See [Cancer Care](https://najmcare.com/treatments/oncology/).

Honest advice
If medicines or a simple procedure can solve the problem, you are told. Surgery is advised only where it helps.
