ENT procedures
Throat examination
A throat examination includes an examination of the oral cavity, including the gums and buccal mucosa, an inspection of the oropharynx with a tongue depressor, direct laryngoscope or otherwise, and palpation of the neck.
Removal of foreign body from ear and nose
It is a simple procedure done by
allocated doctor or nurse, using forceps, water irrigation, and suction
catheter. This procedure is painless and easy although some patients may feel
slight discomfort.
Ear syringing
Commonly, ear syringing is done by squeezing specific amounts of water into the ear to dislodge wax. The doctor will examine your ear canal for infection and to confirm that you have an excess of wax that needs to be removed.
Nasal packing
The placement of an intranasal device that applies constant local pressure to the nasal septum is known as nasal packing. Nasal packing works through direct pressure, which reduces mucosal irritation, which reduces bleeding, and clot formation around the foreign body, which increases pressure.
