A doctor's examination plays an important role in the diagnosis of polypous changes in the nasal mucosa. Endoscopic examination is the gold standard in diagnostics. Also, the main additional diagnostic method, of course, is computed tomography (CT) of the paranasal sinuses. In certain cases, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may come to the rescue. Joint examinations by an allergist, immunologist, pulmonologist, and of course certain laboratory diagnostic tests can play an important role in the final diagnosis of the nature of polyps.

Otitis media can have various etiologies (bacterial, viral, fungal, manifestations of systemic diseases, specific inflammations in the body), depending on which certain negative scenarios may develop. As a rule, the aggressive development of otitis media can affect neighboring areas such as intracranial spaces, neck tissues, as well as nasal structures. Lack of attention to the inflammation of the patient and the doctor can also form a sluggish process and lead to chronicling of the process, which leads to a decrease in ear function. A quick determination of the cause of inflammation and the early appointment of proper treatment leaves no pathophysiological chance for changes in the structures of the ear, leading to the formation of chronic otitis media.

Persistent dryness in the throat can be a consequence of both an ENT problem and the effect of problems in other systems and organs. The task of an otorhinolaryngologist is to understand the nature of the condition. If this is due to inflammation, then the appointment of local, possibly systemic, medications eliminates unpleasant sensations. The role of additional diagnostic methods is great. This can be a blood test, a study of the microflora of the mucous membrane, determination of the cell population of the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract. Also, the cause of dry throat can be concomitant diseases of the endocrine glands, hormonal imbalance, digestive tract problems, problems of the maxillary system, nervous and musculoskeletal systems. The attention of accompanying specialists: a gastroenterologist, an endocrinologist, a dentist, a neurologist can help answer questions about the causes of dry throat.
