ABUJA, Nigeria - Feb. 6, 2017 - PRLog -- The ears, nose and throat are very important organs of the human body and used of a daily basis. Whereas ears are sensory organs related to hearing as well as function to provide a sense of balance. Nose is also a sensory organ that not only allows you to smell, but partially provides for your sense of taste as well. The nose also plays a key role function in humidifying air and prevents germs from entering into the body. Throat is a natural rout that allows air to reach your lungs and water and food to your digestive tract.

Dysfunction of the either one may dramatically affect the quality of your life and in some cases constitute a medical emergency. If you face chronic ear, nose or throat problem, you are required not only to meet a primary care physician, but to include an otolaryngologist as well. An otolaryngologist will help you managing your disorder. ENT is a medical abbreviation commonly used for ear, nose and throat. A doctor specializing in ENT Disorders Treatment is called an "ENT" or less commonly an otolaryngologist. Below are given the names and details of the common ENT problems:

Tonsillitis

When the tonsils turn out to be inflamed for a long period of time, they may have to be removed surgically; this procedure is usually called a "tonsillectomy." Previously, tonsillitis used to be often treated with tonsillectomy, but it's no longer the practice and now done only in specific cases.

When inflammation is severe, it may also interfere with swallowing and breathing. Tonsil removal is applicable or indicated in specific cases of extreme obstruction of the airways. Tonsils are generally enlarged, swollen and very painful during tonsillitis. Some other rare indications for tonsillectomy involve: recurrent strep throat- chronic tonsillitis that doesn't improve with antibiotics and the obstruction results in breather changes in voice. Tonsillitis is usually caused by:
