The first visit usually involves

• Medical history review (symptoms, allergies, lifestyle)
• Physical examination (ear canal, nasal passages, throat)
• Diagnostic tests such as endoscopy, hearing tests (audiogram), or imaging (CT/MRI for sinus or neck issues).

Depending on the condition:

• Minor procedures: Earwax removal, nasal cauterization, or biopsy, often done under local anesthesia.
• Common surgeries: Tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, septoplasty (for deviated septum), sinus surgery, or thyroid surgery.
• Most are performed under general anesthesia, with some minimally invasive techniques available.

• Day procedures (earwax removal, nasal cauterization) → return to normal activities within 1–2 days
• Tonsillectomy / Septoplasty → recovery takes about 1–2 weeks.
• Sinus or thyroid surgery → 2–4 weeks for full recovery.
• Post-op care includes pain management, antibiotics (if needed), hydration, soft diet, and follow-up visits for monitoring
