Cold, Flu & Upper Respiratory Infections

When a blocked nose, sore throat, or cough doesn’t go away — ENT support can help

Recurring Cold or Flu Symptoms? It Might Be More Than Just a Virus.

From lingering nasal congestion to stubborn throat pain or post-viral fatigue, Dr. Peerbaccus investigates deeper ENT causes behind upper respiratory symptoms.

ENT Support for Cold & Flu Complications

Most viral infections resolve in a few days. But when symptoms persist, worsen, or come back repeatedly, an ENT evaluation may reveal:

🧊 Secondary sinus infection
🧫 Bacterial tonsillitis or ear infection
😵 Post-viral vestibular imbalance (dizziness)
🗣 Chronic post-nasal drip causing throat irritation
😤 Enlarged adenoids or nasal blockage (in children)

When to See an ENT

❌ Pain or pressure in the face/sinuses
❌ Hearing changes, blocked ears, or ear pain
❌ Difficulty breathing through the nose
❌ Recurrent sore throats or fevers
❌ Persistent cough with no chest cause

How Dr. Peerbaccus Investigates

Nasal and throat endoscopy (painless, in-clinic)
Sinus and ear exam
Review of allergy, immune, and hygiene factors
Bloodwork or imaging referral (if needed)
Swab testing if infection suspected

Treatment Options
