What is ENT?
ENT stands for ears, nose and throat
Why is ENT important?
ENT is very important because we use our ears to hear, our nose to smell, and our throat to breathe and talk
How to take care of your ear, nose and throat?
Wash the outside of your ears regularly, but remember, earwax is good for protecting your ears so do not clean it out with a cotton swab. If it bothers you, see an ENT doctor to clean it out.
- If your nose is stuffy, see an ENT doctor to give you medicine and fluid rinses to wash out your nose and kill germs hiding in there.
- If your throat is itchy or you cannot breathe well, an ENT doctor can give you medicine to kill these itchy germs or can take out your tonsils so you can breathe better.
