Sore throat, tonsil problems, adenoids, hoarseness and the sensation of a lump in the throat are common reasons for an ENT consultation. A careful assessment helps distinguish between infection, reflux, allergy and a problem of the larynx.
Sore throat
Recurring throat pain may be related to infections, chronic tonsillitis, reflux or irritation of the mucous membrane.
Tonsils and adenoids
In children and adults, repeated tonsil infections or enlarged adenoids can affect breathing, sleep and lead to frequent infections.
Hoarseness
Hoarseness lasting more than a few weeks should be assessed with an examination of the larynx.
