When to see an ENT doctor
See an ENT doctor when ear, nose, throat or neck symptoms last beyond two to three weeks. Also book a visit when they keep returning or affect daily life. A general physician can treat many short illnesses. An ENT specialist suits hearing changes, blocked sinuses, voice problems or a lump that does not settle.
Ear and hearing symptoms
Muffled hearing, ear pain, discharge or a blocked feeling deserve an ear check. Ringing in the ears, called tinnitus, and spinning dizziness, called vertigo, are also ENT problems.
Hearing that drops suddenly in one ear is urgent. Read more about hearing loss treatment and when to come in the same day.
Nose and sinus symptoms
A blocked nose, facial pressure, thick discharge or a reduced sense of smell can point to sinusitis. Symptoms lasting twelve weeks or more suggest chronic sinus disease.
Polyps, a bent septum and allergies can also block the nose. Our guides to sinusitis treatment and nasal polyps care explain the options.
Throat, voice and swallowing symptoms
Repeated tonsil infections, a sore throat that keeps returning or loud snoring are common reasons to visit. Hoarseness lasting more than three weeks needs a throat examination.
Food sticking, pain on swallowing or choking episodes also deserve review. Breathing pauses during sleep may need input from pulmonology and sleep medicine.
Neck lumps and swelling
Most neck lumps are swollen glands after a cold or throat infection. These usually shrink within two to three weeks.
A lump that stays, grows or comes with hoarseness needs an ENT check. Our neck lump evaluation guide explains the tests involved.
Conditions We Evaluate & Treat
Our ENT team evaluates and treats fourteen common ear, nose, throat and neck conditions. Four of them have detailed guides below, covering symptoms, tests and treatment. The remaining conditions are summarised in the list that follows. If your problem is not listed, the team will still guide you to the right specialist.

Sinusitis
Sinusitis is swelling of the sinus lining, often after a cold or an allergy flare. It brings a blocked nose, facial pressure and thick discharge. Most cases settle with saline rinses and nasal sprays. Chronic or repeated sinusitis may need nasal endoscopy and a scan. Some people need FESS, a keyhole operation through the nostrils.

Nasal polyps are soft, non cancerous swellings that grow from the lining of the nose and sinuses. They block the nose and dull the sense of smell. Steroid sprays and drops often shrink them. Larger polyps can be removed with endoscopic surgery through the nostrils, usually without any cut on the face.
Read about nasal polyps treatmentHearing loss
Hearing loss can come from ear wax, infection, fluid behind the eardrum, loud noise or age. Some causes are treated in the clinic on the same day. Others need formal hearing tests and a hearing aid discussion. Sudden hearing loss in one ear is an emergency, because early steroid treatment gives a better chance of recovery.
Read about hearing loss treatmentHead and neck masses
A lump in the neck is usually a swollen lymph gland from an infection. Lumps can also arise from the thyroid, salivary glands or cysts present from birth. A lump lasting over three weeks needs an ENT examination. Ultrasound and a fine needle test, called FNAC, help find the cause calmly and quickly.
Read about neck lump evaluationOther ENT conditions we treat
Ear Infections
Ear infections can affect the outer canal or middle ear. Pain, discharge or reduced hearing may occur, with treatment depending on the part involved.
Tinnitus
Tinnitus is hearing a sound, such as ringing, without an external source. Persistent one-sided or pulse-like tinnitus needs review for an underlying cause.
Vertigo And Balance Disorders
Vertigo is a false sense of movement, often related to the inner ear. Episode duration, triggers and hearing symptoms help distinguish common balance disorders.
Nasal Allergy / Allergic Rhinitis
Allergic rhinitis is inflammation of the nose triggered by allergens. Sneezing, itching, watery discharge and blockage commonly occur together.
Deviated Nasal Septum
A deviated nasal septum is displacement of the wall dividing the nostrils. It may restrict airflow, although not every deviation causes symptoms or requires surgery.
Tonsillitis
Tonsillitis is inflammation of the tonsils, usually from infection. Fever, throat pain and painful swallowing are common; difficulty breathing or swallowing fluids needs urgent review.
Adenoid Disorders
Enlarged or infected adenoids can cause nasal blockage, mouth breathing or middle-ear problems, particularly in children. Snoring or disrupted sleep may be associated.
Voice And Throat Disorders
Voice and throat disorders may involve inflammation, vocal strain or growths. A persistent voice change, particularly with swallowing difficulty or a neck lump, warrants examination.
Swallowing Disorders
Swallowing disorders can affect movement of food from mouth to stomach. Coughing during meals, food sticking or unexplained weight loss should prompt assessment.
Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders
Sleep-related airway obstruction can cause snoring and repeated breathing pauses. Nasal and throat anatomy may contribute, but snoring alone does not establish sleep apnoea.
How your first ENT consultation works
Your first ENT consultation starts with a conversation about your symptoms. The doctor then examines the ear, nose, throat and neck, often with a small camera. Most people leave with a clear explanation, a treatment plan and advice on any tests. Surgery is never decided without a full discussion.
Before your visit
Call 080 6792 7777 or book an ENT appointment online to confirm a slot. Bring previous prescriptions, hearing reports, scans and a list of current medicines.
Note when symptoms started and what makes them better or worse. For children, bring vaccination records and any school hearing check results.
During the consultation
The doctor asks about your symptoms, health history and allergies. Ears are checked with an otoscope, and the nose with a light or a thin endoscope.
Nasal endoscopy takes a few minutes after a numbing spray. You can watch the screen and ask questions while the doctor explains the findings.
After: tests, treatment plan and follow up
Many problems are treated with medicines, sprays or simple clinic care on the same day. Some need tests such as a hearing assessment, a scan or blood work.
If surgery may help, the doctor explains the benefits, risks and alternatives first. A follow up visit checks progress and adjusts the plan when needed.
ENT tests and procedures at Greenview
Greenview offers in-clinic nasal and throat endoscopy, and ENT surgery in on-site operation theatres. Many ENT operations are planned as day care procedures, so you go home the same day. Some tests, such as CT scans or detailed hearing tests, may be arranged through partner centres. Your doctor will explain where each test is done.
Diagnostic tests
Tests are chosen to answer a specific question about your symptoms. The doctor explains why each test is needed before it is done.
Nasal and throat endoscopy
A thin camera passes gently into the nose or throat after a numbing spray. It shows the sinus openings, polyps, adenoids, voice box and any swelling. The ENT room has a dedicated endoscopy workstation for this.
Swallowing problems sometimes need an upper digestive endoscopy, done in our endoscopy unit.
Hearing assessment
Every ear visit includes an otoscope check and simple tuning fork tests. A formal hearing test, such as audiometry or tympanometry, may be needed. Your doctor arranges it and tells you where it is done.
Imaging and FNAC
Ultrasound and digital X-ray are available in our radiology and diagnostics department. CT or MRI scans are arranged when a detailed view of the sinuses or neck is needed.
For a neck lump, a fine needle test called FNAC takes a small cell sample. The pathology team studies the sample and reports the findings.
ENT surgery and day care procedures
Operations take place in our operation theatres, with anaesthesia support and an intensive care unit on site. Suitable patients are treated through day care surgery and go home the same day.
Endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS)
FESS opens blocked sinus drainage pathways using a camera passed through the nostrils. It is considered when chronic sinusitis or polyps do not improve with medicines. There is usually no cut on the face.
Septoplasty
Septoplasty straightens a bent wall between the nostrils, called a deviated septum. It can ease a blocked nose and help sprays reach the sinuses. It is often combined with sinus surgery when both are needed.
Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy
Tonsillectomy removes the tonsils after repeated, troublesome throat infections or breathing problems in sleep. Adenoidectomy removes enlarged adenoids that block the nose or cause ear fluid in children. Your doctor explains recovery, diet and pain relief beforehand.

View Dr. Ruchi Verma's profileENT care for children
Children often need ENT care for ear infections, glue ear, enlarged adenoids and tonsil problems. Our ENT doctors work with the paediatrics team to examine children gently and explain options to parents. Many problems settle with medicines or watchful waiting. Surgery is suggested only when symptoms affect sleep, hearing, speech or school.
Signs worth checking include snoring with breathing pauses, mouth breathing, frequent ear pain or not responding to sounds. Speech that seems delayed can also point to a hearing problem.
A child with an object in the ear or nose should come in promptly. The same applies to a fish bone in the throat. Our emergency team sees children at any hour.
Cashless insurance, costs and admission
Greenview works with 43 insurance partners, including insurers and TPAs, for cashless ENT treatment. Planned procedures such as sinus surgery or tonsillectomy need insurer approval before admission. Our insurance desk helps with the paperwork. Costs depend on the procedure, anaesthesia, stay and your policy, so the team explains an estimate after your consultation.
Bring your insurance card, policy number and photo identification to the visit. Approval is the insurer's decision, and some items may fall outside your cover.
Read our cashless insurance guide for the list of partners and the documents needed.
ENT emergencies: when to come in now
Come to the emergency department straight away for a nosebleed that will not stop. The same applies to difficulty breathing or swallowing, or sudden hearing loss. A stuck fish bone, or an object in a child's ear or nose, also needs prompt care. Throat or neck swelling with fever is urgent too. Our emergency team is available 24x7.
Call 080 6792 7777 on the way, or come directly to our 24x7 emergency department. Do not wait for an outpatient slot when breathing is affected.
For a nosebleed, sit up, lean forward and pinch the soft part of the nose for ten minutes. Seek help if bleeding continues after that.
Frequently asked questions
These answers cover the questions patients most often ask before an ENT visit at Greenview. They give general information, not a diagnosis. Your doctor will advise on your own symptoms after an examination. For urgent problems, use the emergency department rather than waiting for a booked appointment.
Is there an ENT specialist in HSR Layout?
Yes. Greenview has three ENT doctors at 20 & 21, 14th Main Road, opposite Agara Lake, HSR Layout. Dr. G Mohan, Dr. Medha Mahesh and Dr. Ruchi Verma treat ear, nose, throat and neck problems. Call 080 6792 7777 to confirm a consultation slot with the right doctor.
What does an ENT doctor treat?
An ENT doctor treats conditions of the ear, nose, throat, head and neck. Common examples are sinusitis, nasal polyps, hearing loss, ear infections, tonsillitis, vertigo and voice problems. ENT surgeons also evaluate neck lumps and perform operations such as sinus surgery, septoplasty and tonsillectomy. The medical name is otolaryngologist.
When should I see an ENT specialist instead of a general physician?
See an ENT specialist when symptoms last more than two to three weeks or keep coming back. Hearing changes, a one sided blocked nose, hoarseness and a neck lump also need ENT review. A general physician remains a good first stop for short colds and sore throats.
Do I need a referral to see an ENT doctor at Greenview?
No, you do not need a referral. You can book directly by calling 080 6792 7777, messaging +91 96861 15772 on WhatsApp or booking online. If another doctor has seen you, bring their notes and reports. For insurance claims, check which documents your policy needs.
What are the ENT consultation timings in HSR Layout?
Greenview's OPD is open 24/7, but each ENT doctor keeps fixed consultation slots. Dr. G Mohan, for example, sees patients from Monday to Saturday in the evening. Dr. Medha Mahesh is available on call. Call 080 6792 7777 before you travel, and the team will confirm a time that suits you.
Is ENT surgery covered under cashless insurance?
Many planned ENT operations can be done on a cashless basis, subject to your insurer's approval. Greenview works with 43 insurance partners. The insurance desk sends the preauthorisation request after your surgeon confirms the plan. Waiting periods, room limits and exclusions in your policy can affect what is covered.
Does Greenview treat ENT problems in children?
Yes. Our ENT doctors see babies, children and teenagers for ear infections, glue ear, adenoids, tonsils and hearing concerns. They work closely with the paediatrics team when needed. Treatment starts with the gentlest suitable option. Surgery such as adenoidectomy or grommets is suggested only when problems persist or affect hearing and sleep.
Is sinus or nasal surgery done as a day care procedure?
Often, yes. Many patients having FESS, septoplasty or nasal polyp removal go home the same day or the next morning. The decision depends on your health, the extent of surgery and how you recover from anaesthesia. Your surgeon will explain the expected stay before you agree to the operation.
What should I bring to my first ENT appointment?
Bring any previous prescriptions, scan reports, hearing test results and a list of current medicines. Note your main symptoms and how long they have lasted. Carry photo identification and insurance details if you have them. For a child, bring their health records and any school hearing reports.
What ENT symptoms need emergency care?
Seek emergency care for difficulty breathing, a nosebleed that will not stop, or sudden hearing loss. Severe throat pain with drooling, neck swelling with fever and a swallowed sharp object are also urgent. Call 080 6792 7777 or come to Greenview's 24x7 emergency department without waiting for an appointment.
