If you have a health problem with your head or neck, your doctor might
recommend that you see an otolaryngologist. That's someone who treats
issues in your ears, nose, or throat as well as related areas in your
head and neck.
Otolaryngologists can do surgery and treat many different medical conditions.
Common conditions include:
An ear condition, such as an infection, hearing loss, or trouble with balance
Nose and nasal issues like allergies, sinusitis, or growths
Throat problems like tonsillitis, difficulty swallowing, and voice issues
Sleep trouble like snoring or obstructive sleep apnea, in which your airway
is narrow or blocked and it interrupts your breathing while you sleep
Infections or tumors (cancerous or not) of your head or neck
