Ear-Nose-Throat (ENT) is an interesting specialty. Don't worry about the fact that it has three names. In fact, it covers a much larger number of areas. If it were to be mentioned together with what it covers, the patient in front of him would be on his way to another doctor until the doctor counts his areas of expertise as his patient.
These areas and their wide borders, which we think are not that big from the outside, are really the largest area of the body. Although it is not a large area, it can be considered the most important part of the body in terms of tissue richness and diversity and complex relationships.
Perhaps the main region underlying the mention of these regions together is the nasal region. The nasal area is where the airway from the nose flows into the throat and where the eustachian tubes, which carry air to the ears, are located. In short, it is a complete crossroads and probably the main reason for the emergence of this specialty.
After all these ENT introductions, let's say a few words to answer the question "Is it the same between our country and other countries?" Yes, medical science knows that people are structurally the same in every square inch of the world. What I'm talking about is not just having two eyes, ears and nostrils. At the same time, their internal structures are the same.
However, it is known that there are geographical, cultural and many other differences. There are example climate differences. There are social differences.
To give an example, I don't think a native living in the African tropical forests has the habit of cleaning their ears with cotton swabs. Or, that an Eskimo has the habit of taking a shower every morning.
During the years when I was doing my compulsory service, in the village where I worked, elderly aunts and uncles would come to me even on the hottest days of summer, taking off their jackets so that they could open their backs and listen to their lungs. I remember very well that I had to take off the vest or cardigan, the shirt or blouse, the undershirt and sometimes the wool knitted sweater inside. I remember because I have always been amazed by our fondness for heat and our phobia of cold. Well, which of us has never had a mother tell her child, "Child, wear an undershirt?" Which one is the warning "Close the window, it's drafty"? We have not heard of it. The "wet hair-sinusitis" equation is another interesting one, for which I could not find an equivalent in the medical literature.
Hasbelkader, in later years, when I was abroad in even colder places in the northern hemisphere, my teacher even used it on cold winter days. At regular dinner parties, while sitting at the table in a shy state, I would try to wet my dry throat by drinking water from the ice water jug that appeared next to me, with mostly ice and some water poured into my glass. Don't get me wrong, ice water was not something I requested. In almost all restaurants, the first thing the waiters do as soon as they sit at the table is to pour plenty of ice water.
One wonders why the perceptions about cold are so different.
Anyway. , my aim with this article is to discuss the symptoms of some of the common ENT disorders and to convey to you what these symptoms tell us in as understandable a language as I can. I hope you find it an article that is less boring and more understandable.
