Otolaryngology (ENT)
At Újbuda Medical Center, a general ENT examination includes a thorough evaluation of the ears, nose and sinuses, oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, salivary glands, and neck areas. Based on the data collected during the initial examination, as well as the patient's medical history and current symptoms, additional specialized diagnostic procedures may be performed if necessary to obtain the most accurate understanding of the patient’s health and determine the appropriate treatment steps. Our goal is to provide every patient with the most comprehensive and suitable treatment available.
When Should You See an ENT Specialist?
The ENT department at Újbuda Medical Center is equipped to diagnose and treat a wide range of ear, nose, and throat issues. ENT complaints can vary greatly, and in some cases, it is crucial to seek medical attention in a timely manner. If you experience any of the following symptoms, it is recommended to schedule a specialist examination immediately:
Ear Pain, Tinnitus, and Hearing Loss
Frequent or persistent ear pain, tinnitus, or hearing loss can be indicative of underlying conditions. These symptoms may signal middle ear infections, earwax buildup, or more serious inner ear diseases.
Nasal Issues: Congestion, Discharge, Allergic Symptoms
Chronic nasal congestion, constant nasal discharge, or allergic reactions like sneezing and nasal itching are also reasons to consult an ENT specialist. These symptoms may indicate allergic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, or other nasal and sinus problems.
Throat Issues and Difficulty with Speech
Sore throat, swallowing difficulties, hoarseness, or issues with speech production often suggest inflammation or infection of the pharynx or larynx, or even potential tumors. These symptoms are particularly concerning if they persist for a long time or worsen suddenly.
Dizziness and Balance Problems
Sudden dizziness or balance issues, especially when accompanied by ear-related symptoms, may point to inner ear problems such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) or Meniere's disease.
Chronic Cough, Snoring, and Sleep Apnea
Chronic cough, difficulty breathing, snoring, or nighttime breathing interruptions could be signs of sleep apnea. These airway problems are not only disruptive but can pose serious health risks.
If you experience any of the above symptoms, particularly if they have persisted for an extended period, it is advised to seek medical consultation as soon as possible. The ENT department at Újbuda Medical Center is ready to provide swift and effective diagnosis and treatment, helping you regain your well-being and health as quickly as possible.

Medical History
The first step in the examination is taking a detailed medical history, where our specialists ask about the patient's symptoms, their onset, duration, and intensity. We also gather information about previous health conditions and family medical history, which can provide important insights for establishing a diagnosis.
General Examination
Following the medical history, a general ENT examination is performed, which includes an assessment of the ears, nose and sinuses, oral cavity, pharynx, and larynx. During these evaluations, our doctors look for visible abnormalities such as inflammations, infections, or anatomical irregularities.
Additional Diagnostic Tests
If necessary, based on symptoms or findings from the general examination, additional specialized tests may be conducted, such as audiometry to assess hearing ability, allergy tests to diagnose allergic reactions, or imaging tests (e.g., X-ray, CT, MRI) to aid in making a precise diagnosis.
