- Medical Weight Loss5) Most foods can be safely eaten. Proper intake of fluids-enough to go to the bathroom two to three times a day-is all that is important. Do not worry about poor eating or weight loss.
- Primary CareIf you decide you need to see an ear, nose, and throat physician, we hope you will give our office a call. You can call and arrange you own appointment, or you may be referred from your primary-care physician. Patients are welcome to refer their relatives and friends. My staff and I will do our best to make your visit to our office as pleasant as possible.
- Ear Infections6) Tonsillectomy, adentonsillectomy for middle ear disease. Often patients will have recurrent acute otitis media (middle ear infections) associated with a sore throat. If frequent middle ear infections and adenotonsillitis are common, often a tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy may be recommended to help prevent middle ear disease.

- Emergency Care4) Often, there will be minor bleeding up to 10 days after surgery. Usually this is a small amount of blood mixed with saliva, which will stop on its own. If the bleeding persists, please call my office, paging service or emergency room.

- AllergiesMyringotomy and tubes is a temporary replacement of the function of the eustachian tube. The body's natural healing tendency pushes the tube out and the eardrum heals. At this point, the original problem may or may not return. Depending on the history and age of the patient, sometimes other measures, which might help prevent having to repeat the myringotomy and tube insertion are suggested. These additional measures, which may be done at the same time as the myringotomy and tubes, are adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy and/or allergy testing.
