Răgușeala persistă mai mult de trei săptămâni? Un medic ORL din Sibiu explică de ce nu trebuie ignorată

Dr. Liliana Ermacov, an ORL specialist in Sibiu, discusses common causes of hoarseness, treatment for nasal polyps, and the dangers of using cotton swabs in the ears. Persistent hoarseness can result from vocal strain, respiratory infections, or benign vocal cord lesions. Nasal polyps, often linked to chronic rhinitis, can obstruct breathing and require treatment ranging from corticosteroid sprays to surgery. Proper nasal hygiene is crucial for respiratory health, with saline solutions recommended for cleaning. Cotton swabs are discouraged as they can push earwax deeper and cause injury. Regular ORL consultations are essential for diagnosing and treating these conditions effectively.
