Track: COVID 19 and ENT
COVID-19 has significant implications for ENT, as the virus can lead to symptoms like loss of smell and taste, sore throat, and upper respiratory tract infections. ENT specialists play a crucial role in diagnosing and managing these symptoms, as well as addressing potential complications such as anosmia and dysgeusia. Additionally, precautions must be taken during ENT procedures to minimize the risk of viral transmission.
COVID-19 in ENT affects multiple aspects of the ear, nose, and throat. Olfactory dysfunction, such as loss of smell, is a hallmark symptom, often preceding other signs. Laryngopharyngeal symptoms include sore throat, hoarseness, and difficulty swallowing, which can persist in some patients. Otologic manifestations may involve hearing loss or tinnitus, potentially due to inflammation or viral effects. The use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) like masks may lead to discomfort or exacerbate existing ENT issues. Telemedicine has become essential for remote consultations, allowing for continued ENT care while minimizing COVID-19 transmission risks.

Olfactory Dysfunction in COVID-19: Loss of smell (anosmia) is a notable symptom of COVID-19, impacting the ability to detect odors and affecting taste. It is often a key indicator of the virus.
Laryngopharyngeal Symptoms and Complications: COVID-19 can cause throat pain, hoarseness, and difficulty swallowing. Long-term complications may include persistent laryngeal inflammation or voice changes.
Otologic Manifestations and Hearing Loss: Some COVID-19 patients experience hearing loss or tinnitus, potentially due to viral effects on the auditory system or secondary to inflammation.
Impact of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) on ENT Health: Extended use of masks and face shields can cause skin irritation, dry mouth, and discomfort, potentially exacerbating existing ENT conditions.
Telemedicine for ENT Care during the Pandemic: Telemedicine has become crucial for remote consultations and follow-ups, allowing patients to access ENT care while minimizing in-person visits and reducing the risk of virus transmission.
