Those little white or yellow bumps on your tonsils? They have a name: tonsil stones. 😮 They're made of trapped bacteria, mucus, and debris in the natural nooks of your tonsils — totally common, usually harmless, but they can cause bad breath or irritation when they build up.

Curious if yours need attention, or just want to know more?

❓ DM us your tonsil questions — we might answer it in our next post!

From turning the volume up a little more each year to struggling to follow conversations in a crowded room, your ears might be trying to tell you something.

Our providers are here to listen (pun intended!) and help you hear life more clearly.

Rinse right, breathe easy. 💧

Sinus rinses can seriously improve congestion, but using the wrong water can put your health at risk. Tap water may contain bacteria and other microorganisms that are generally safe to drink but can be dangerous if they enter your sinuses.

In rare cases, contaminated water used for sinus rinsing has been linked to serious, potentially deadly infections. 🦠 Always use distilled, sterile, or boiled-and-cooled water for your sinus rinse. Never use straight tap water.

It’s a simple step that can make your sinus routine both effective and safe.

September 28th is World Sinus Day 🌍👃 — a day dedicated to raising awareness about chronic sinusitis, a condition that affects millions but often goes untreated. Facial pressure, congestion, headaches, and reduced sense of smell that last more than 12 weeks aren't just "normal" — they could be chronic sinusitis.

You don't have to live with it. Let's talk about real relief.

Ever notice you can hear your own heartbeat in your ear? 👂💓 It's not just in your head! It's a real and surprisingly common condition called pulsatile tinnitus. In most cases it's harmless and tied to blood flow near the ear, but if the pulsing sound sticks around, it can occasionally signal something worth ruling out. Either way, it's not something you have to just live with.

Food allergies aren't just a stomach issue — they can affect your airway fast. 🫁⚠️

If you've never been allergy tested but suspect a sensitivity, it's worth knowing your triggers before you're caught off guard. If you have a diagnosed allergy, always carry your EpiPen, and get in the habit of double-checking ingredient labels — allergens hide in sauces, seasonings, and processed foods more often than you'd think.

Know the warning signs of a throat/airway reaction — swelling, trouble breathing or swallowing, voice changes — and don't hesitate to act fast if they show up.

09/19/2026

Aging well starts with hearing, breathing, and balance you can count on. Hearing loss, sinus issues, and balance changes become more common as we age — but they're not something you just have to live with. Regular ENT checkups can catch changes early and keep you feeling like yourself.

This Healthy Aging Month, let's make sure your ears, nose, and throat are aging as well as you are.

📅 Take a proactive approach to healthy aging and schedule your ENT visit today.

Are Food Allergies and Food Sensitivity Different?

When the reaction to a particular food consumed is triggered in the digestive system, the reaction is due to sensitivity or intolerance. For example, symptoms of food intolerance and sensitivity include bloating, diarrhea, constipation, gas, cramping, and nausea, whereas a food allergic reaction will likely include swelling, hives, itching, dizziness, or anaphylaxis, which can be life-threatening. Many leading allergy and immunology experts say food sensitivities are not life-threatening, nor are they immune-mediated, but are instead caused by an inability to process or digest food properly. Food sensitivities are also far more common than food allergies and occur for several reasons, including:
- Improper amount of enzymes needed to digest food properly
- Reaction to food additives or preservatives (MSG, artificial colors)
- Sensitivity to caffeine or other chemicals
- Sensitivity to natural sugars found in certain foods

What Is Chronic Sinusitis and How Does It Affect You?

Chronic sinusitis is characterized by long-lasting inflamed sinuses. When the inflammation lasts for at least 12 weeks and isn't relieved by traditional treatments or medications, it's considered chronic. People who have chronic sinus inflammation often have partial or complete obstruction and mucus build-up. Breathing becomes difficult and facial pain, pressure, and sinus headaches are common.

What Is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a common condition in which your breathing stops and restarts many times while you sleep. This can prevent your body from getting enough oxygen. You may want to talk to your healthcare provider about sleep apnea if someone tells you that you snore or gasp during sleep, or if you experience other symptoms of poor-quality sleep, such as excessive daytime sleepiness.

What is Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)?

Ear surgery is done to improve the shape, position, or proportion of your ear. Otoplasty can also correct a defect in ear structure, whether it's there at birth or is the result of an injury. The team often repairs torn earlobes, drooping ears, and ears that are too large or stick out.

How Is Pediatric Allergy Testing Done?

Skin prick tests are carried out to find out if suspected allergens cause a response.
The doctor will use the following process:
- Clean the area with alcohol.
- Place drops of a liquid containing various allergens on the skin.
- Lightly prick the skin within the drops with a needle or special device.
- Examine the skin after about 15 minutes and take measurements on any red, swollen sites.
- Positive reactions can be very itchy, depending on the severity of the allergy, so a topical remedy may be applied to reduce discomfort.

Avoid using antihistamines for 24 hours before a skin prick test so that the full reaction can be observed.

When Does Snoring Become Sleep Apnea?

It starts when the breathing becomes very shallow due to these obstructions in the airway. The sleeper is not able to breathe deeply and take in enough oxygen.

Patients with obstructive sleep apnea experience a pattern of similar events that repeat throughout the night, sometimes hundreds of times. The number of breathing pauses per night, the duration of each pause and the lack of oxygen, in part, determine the severity of obstructive sleep apnea.

Not all patients who snore have sleep apnea and not all patients who have sleep apnea snore. However, because snoring could be a precursor to sleep apnea and is often a symptom of sleep apnea, it should not be ignored.
