The head and neck region is a busy intersection of vital functions: breathing, eating, speaking, hearing, and balancing. Because these systems are interconnected by a complex network of tubes and nerves, a problem in one area often triggers symptoms in another. For example, a “toothache” might actually be a sinus infection, and “dizziness” might be caused by loose crystals in your ear.
At Liv Hospital, we believe that accurate treatment begins with understanding the root cause of your discomfort. ENT symptoms are rarely random; they are specific distress signals. Whether you are an adult struggling with chronic fatigue from sleep apnea or a parent worried about a child’s delay in speech, recognizing these signs is the first step toward relief.
The ear is a dual-function organ responsible for both hearing and balance. Symptoms here can range from mild annoyance to debilitating vertigo.
The nose is the body’s air filter and humidifier. When it malfunctions, it affects your lungs, sleep, and energy levels.
Causes: Dry air and picking are common causes. However, frequent, heavy bleeding can indicate high blood pressure, blood clotting disorders, or (rarely) a nasal tumor.
The throat (pharynx) and voice box (larynx) are complex muscular tubes.

Tinnitus is often caused by damage to the microscopic hair cells in the cochlea due to aging or exposure to loud noise, but it can also result from earwax blockage or medication side effects.
This is called gustatory rhinitis, a non-allergic reaction where spicy or hot foods stimulate the nerves in the nose to produce excess mucus.
Yes, stomach acid can travel up the esophagus and irritate the throat lining, causing a condition known as Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR), which presents as a chronic sore throat or lump sensation.
Children have shorter, more horizontal Eustachian tubes, which make it harder for fluid to drain from the middle ear and easier for bacteria to travel from the throat to the ear.
Yes, viral infections can cause swelling in the nasal lining that blocks airflow to the smell receptors, and the virus can also temporarily stun the olfactory nerves, leading to a temporary loss of smell.
