What is rhinitis?
Rhinitis is defined as inflammation of the lining of the nose, characterized by one or more of the following symptoms: itching, sneezing, rhinorrhoea (runny nose) and nasal congestion (blocked nose).
Allergic rhinitis implies that the rhinitis is caused by hypersensitivity to allergens.
EAR DISORDERS
Approximately 1 of every 1,000 children is born with a profound hearing loss and many other children are born with less severe degrees of hearing impairment. Others develop hearing impairment during childhood. Such hearing losses interfere with the development of speech and language skills and can have a negative effect on social, emotional, cognitive and academic development.
ENDOSCOPIC SINUS SURGERY
Endoscopic/ Endonasal or "functional" surgery to your nose and sinuses represents the latest approach to the management of sinusitis. In the past the surgery was to some existent destructive and aimed at removing the "disease". The latest surgery is based on the philosophy of encouraging optimal intranasal conditions to enable the disease to "settle down" over a period of time.
The object is to allow better ventilation of the sinuses.
