Understanding Common ENT Problems and How Dr. LeBert Can Help

1. Chronic Sinus Inflammation Chronic sinus inflammation, or sinusitis, can cause persistent headaches, pressure, and sinus pain. Our ENT specialist employs a range of treatments to alleviate these symptoms, including prescription decongestants, antihistamines, nasal irrigation, and advanced procedures like balloon sinuplasty to clear the sinuses and reduce inflammation.

2. Allergies Allergies, both indoor and outdoor, can significantly impact your daily life. Dr. LeBert uses allergy testing to identify specific allergens and recommends treatments such as antihistamines, allergy injections, allergy toothpaste and sublingual allergy drop therapy to manage and alleviate allergy symptoms effectively.

3. Ear Infections Ear infections are common in both children and adults and are typically caused by bacterial or viral infections. Our ENT specialist will assess your ear infection and determine the appropriate treatment, which may include oral antibiotics or prescription ear drops to reduce swelling, inflammation, and pain.

4. Hearing Loss Hearing loss can be diagnosed through a hearing test to determine its severity. Covington ENT & Allergy Clinic provides a variety of hearing aids tailored to restore hearing and improve communication for those affected by hearing impairment.

5. Snoring and Sleep Apnea Snoring and sleep apnea occur when the tissue at the back of the throat relaxes during sleep, obstructing the airway. Dr. LeBert can evaluate your condition and suggest treatments to help you breathe better and sleep more soundly.
