How Can We Help:

Patients can look forward to a relaxing consultation environment that allows open and frank discussions about their symptoms. They can come along with a friend or family member if they wish.
Mr Adeel will review your medical history and perform a physical examination, which will be the first step in locating the source of your facial pain. A thin, flexible camera may examine the inside of your nose and sinuses. More tests, such as imaging (CT scan or MRI scan) and blood work, may be required for the diagnosis.

Depending on the diagnosis, treatment will be offered, ranging from pain medication to antibiotics, nasal sprays, referral to dental colleagues, or surgery if needed.
It is better to get help immediately when you experience facial pain that lasts long or seems threatening. As an ENT, I can help you make the correct diagnosis, comfort you, and improve your quality of life.
