Ear, nose and throat infections are very common. The symptoms are usually relatively mild, but infections can sometimes cause problems that need to be treated by an ENT specialist. What can cause an infection in your ears, nose or throat, and when should you visit an ENT clinic for advice?
Common Ear, Nose and Throat Infections
The larynx lies in the neck at the upper end of our windpipe (trachea) from the lungs. It is part of our airway in the throat and lies behind and below the mouth and tongue. It separates and protects our airway from the swallowing part of our throat which leads into the gullet (oesophagus) down which our food and drink are swallowed into the stomach.
The most important function of the larynx is to protect our lungs. It closes off the airway and stops food and liquid going down our windpipe into our lungs every time we swallow. It also closes and opens rapidly as part of coughing and therefore helps us to cough to protect our lungs.
Pathology is a branch of medical science that involves the study and diagnosis of disease through the examination of surgically removed organs, tissues (biopsy samples), bodily fluids, and in some cases the whole body (autopsy).

Like other skills and milestones, at the age in which children learn languages and start talking, they may vary. Many children say “Mama” and “Dada” before their first birthday, and most children can say about 20 words until 18 months. But what if the 2-year-old child is not talking yet or keeps only two words together then the child needs speech therapy to say words clearly.
Knowing what is “normal” and what is not in the development of speech and language, can help parents to find out whether there is a reason to worry or not.
We provide the best foreign speech therapies to the children of age group 2 to 17 years old.
