The main causes of diseases of the ENT organs

Diseases of the ENT organs most often develop under the influence of the following factors:

• viral and bacterial infections (acute respiratory infections, streptococci, staphylococci, etc.);
• hypothermia and frequent temperature changes;
• allergic reactions and chronic respiratory allergies;
• weakened immunity, including against the background of chronic diseases;
• presence of foci of chronic inflammation in the body (e.g., dental caries, maxillary sinusitis);
• smoking and constant inhalation of polluted air;
• anatomical features (deviated nasal septum, hypertrophy of adenoids).

In the absence of timely diagnosis and treatment, acute inflammatory processes can pass into chronic forms, causing frequent relapses and complications.

Drug therapy in otolaryngology: approaches and specifics

Drug treatment of diseases of the ENT organs is selected strictly individualized depending on the diagnosis, stage of the disease, age of the patient and accompanying factors. 

In the drug therapy of ENT diseases are used:

• antibacterial drugs;
• antiviral agents;
• antifungal drugs;
• local antiseptics;
• hormonal nasal sprays;
• vasoconstrictors;
• mucolytics;
• antihistamines.

Often drug therapy is combined with physical procedures to enhance the effect. Self-medication is inadmissible, especially in prolonged symptoms or worsening of the condition.
