Frequently Asked Questions About Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat Conditions
You should consult a doctor if your symptoms last more than a few days, worsen, or interfere with your daily activities. A prompt evaluation can prevent complications.
We use tests such as sinus examination, otoscopy for the ears, and nasopharyngoscopy to assess the nasal passages and throat.
Not always. Some sinus infections are viral and resolve without antibiotics. Our team determines the appropriate treatment after a thorough evaluation.
No, dizziness can be caused by various factors, including neurological disorders. An ENT evaluation helps identify the source.
Clinique Praxis offers a comprehensive range of treatments tailored to each type of eye infection:
Local or oral antibiotics: Effective for treating bacterial infections such as bacterial conjunctivitis or corneal ulcers.
Antivirals: Used for infections caused by viruses, such as herpetic keratitis or viral conjunctivitis.
Antifungals: Prescribed for rare but serious fungal infections, particularly those related to trauma or prolonged contact lens wear.
Antihistamines and anti-inflammatory eye drops: Recommended for allergic conditions causing redness and itching.
Artificial tears or hydrating gels: Used to soothe dry eyes, often aggravated by infection or inflammation. Every treatment is determined after a precise diagnosis to effectively target the cause and prevent complications.
Effective prevention relies on a combination of good hygiene practices and vigilance:
Hand hygiene: Wash your hands frequently, especially before touching your eyes, to prevent the spread of germs.
Avoid excessive rubbing: Rubbing your eyes can worsen irritation or introduce bacteria.
Eye protection: Wear goggles or safety glasses in dusty environments, during manual labor, or to prevent injuries.
Contact lens care: Clean your lenses with recommended solutions and respect the wearing schedule to avoid serious infections.
Avoid sharing makeup: Sharing items like eyeliner or mascara can spread infections.
Consult a professional promptly: If you notice symptoms such as persistent redness, intense pain, or unusual discharge, it is crucial to seek a consultation for early treatment.
Not necessarily, but it is essential not to ignore them. Here is the distinction between mild conditions and cases requiring urgent attention:
Mild conditions: Temporary irritation or dryness due to digital eye strain or exposure to wind can often be treated with artificial tears.
Symptoms to watch for: If redness, pain, or discharge lasts more than 48 hours, or if it is accompanied by blurred vision, light sensitivity, or swelling, you must consult a professional immediately. Early diagnosis can prevent serious conditions such as keratitis, corneal ulcers, or even vision loss.
