Specialists in Otorhinolaryngology

The speciality of Otorhinolaryngology has undergone great advances in recent years in terms of techniques and surgeries for both adults and children. The main objective is the early detection of different ear, nose and throat pathologies. We focus especially on hearing impairments that affect the development of children. It is important to have a team of specialists in Otorhinolaryngology, as we do in our Hospital in Marbella.

When to go

As a general rule, it is advisable to go to the doctor when you feel any discomfort in the ear, nose or throat that affects your daily life. The most common ailments tend to be:

  1. Nose: Prolonged bleeding, blocked nostrils, loss of smell and allergic reactions are common manifestations. They may indicate that you may be suffering from a disease of this area of the respiratory tract.
  2. Hearing: The ear specialist is often consulted for hearing loss, but also for pain or tinnitus (ringing in the ears). Dizziness during any activity, or the sensation of internal swelling are also good reasons as they could alert us to otitis.
  3. Throat: It is important to see an ear, nose and throat specialist if any inflammation appears that prevents you from swallowing normally or if you notice any changes in the glands.

Frequently asked questions about otorhinolaryngology

The following is an answer to the concept of otorhinolaryngologist and everything related to the term.

What is otorhinolaryngology?

Otolaryngology is the part of medicine concerned with the anatomy, physiology and diseases of the ear, nose and throat. This speciality deals with very important aspects of our daily lives such as speech, hearing, breathing and balance.

Medication, rehabilitation or surgery, depending on the case, are the main treatments. In addition, their surgeries are usually short. Although historically otolaryngology focused on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of diseases of the ear, upper respiratory tract (mouth, nose, pharynx) and aerodigestive tract (mouth, nose, pharynx and larynx), it now also encompasses cervicofacial surgery.

What does an otolaryngologist do?

The otolaryngologist deals with the functions of areas such as respiration, olfaction, swallowing, speech and voice, as well as the facial and cervical structures involved in them. These functions directly influence people’s well-being and quality of life, as they are crucial in the daily lives of all of us.

In this way, the field of action of our otolaryngologists in Marbella includes:

  • Sense organs (hearing, smell and taste)
  • The central vestibular system
  • The upper aerodigestive tract
  • Organs of phonation
  • The skull base and some types of tumours
