FAQs
What is obstructive sleep apnoea(OSA)?
OSA is a condition in which a person stops breathing repeatedly throughout the night. Breathing stops because the airway collapses and prevents air from getting into the lungs. Sleep patterns are disrupted, resulting in excessive daytime sleepiness or fatigue.
What are the symptoms of OSA?
Night time:
- Loud persistent snoring.
- Pauses in breathing.
- Choking or gasping for air during sleep.
- Restless sleep.
- Frequent visits to the bathroom
Day time:
- Early morning headache.
- Excessive day time fatigue.
- Poor concentration.
- Irritability.
- Sleepiness during routine activities.
What are common causes of nasal obstruction?
What causes sinusitis and how is it treated?
At what point would my child benefit from a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy?
Surgical removal of the tonsils and adenoids in children is performed for three primary reasons: recurrent tonsil/adenoid infections, snoring with associated sleep apnea, and hearing loss due to serous otitis media.
What causes my hoarseness of voice ?
Hoarseness is due to irritation of the larynx and is commonly caused by upper respiratory infections, reflux of stomach acid and/or postnasal drip.
- In children due to repeated upper respiratory infections.
- Misuse of Voice (Mostly in singers).
- External trauma to neck.
I use Hydrogen Peroxide to clean wax from my ears. Is this a safe practice and how often should you clean your ears?
Should we use ear buds to remove wax?
How can Air Travel cause problems?
In the early days of airplanes with open cabins and cockpits, this was a major problem to flyers. Today’s aircraft are pressurized so that air pressure changes are minimized. Putting nasal drops and chewing movements will reduce the problem (particularly in children).
When is hearing evaluation indicated?
Hearing evaluation may be indicated if a young child has limited, poor, or no speech; seems frequently inattentive, has difficulty learning; or has any signs of hearing loss, such as increasing the television volume. In conjunction with any behavioral symptoms, hearing assessment also may be necessary if there are certain risk factors for hearing loss, such as childhood hearing loss in family members, severe complications at birth, frequent ear infections, or infections such as meningitis or Cytomegalo virus and also if mother suffers from measles or mumps or any viral infection during pregnancy.
