Frequently Asked Questions
What types of ENT problems does Dr. Rushikesh Harkut treat?
Dr. Rushikesh specializes in treating ear infections (Otomycosis, CSOM), vertigo and balance disorders, allergic rhinitis, chronic rhinosinusitis, thyroid-related neck swellings, and voice or throat-related issues like hoarseness and laryngitis.
When should I consult an ENT specialist for ear pain or discharge?
If you have persistent ear pain, itching, blocked ear, or ear discharge, it could be Otomycosis (fungal infection) or chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM). These require microscopic examination and proper ENT treatment.
What causes vertigo and balance problems, and can they be treated?
Vertigo is often caused by inner ear problems like BPPV, vestibular neuritis, or chronic infections. Dr. Rushikesh evaluates dizziness through clinical tests and audiometry, and treats with maneuvers or medications.
How is allergic rhinitis or nose allergy diagnosed and managed?
If you suffer from sneezing, nasal blockage, watery nose, or frequent cold, you may have nasal allergy. Dr. Rushikesh offers allergy testing, nasal sprays, antihistamines, and lifestyle guidance to manage symptoms long term.
What is rhinosinusitis and how is it different from a regular cold?
Rhinosinusitis is a bacterial or fungal infection of the sinuses causing facial pain, nasal congestion, headache, and thick nasal discharge. Unlike viral colds, sinusitis may need nasal endoscopy, antibiotics, or sinus surgery.
Does Dr. Rushikesh treat thyroid swelling or goitre?
Yes. Dr. Rushikesh evaluates thyroid nodules, goitres, and neck swellings, recommends thyroid function tests, ultrasound, and refers for biopsy or surgery if needed. Many thyroid disorders present as painless lumps in the neck.
Can I take a second opinion from an ENT specialist before surgery?
Yes. If you’ve been advised ear surgery, sinus surgery, or thyroid surgery, it’s wise to seek a second opinion. Dr. Rushikesh offers expert evaluation via teleconsultation, helping patients confirm diagnosis and explore safer options.
Can ENT disorders cause chronic cough or throat irritation?
Yes. Post-nasal drip, laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), or throat allergies are ENT causes of chronic cough. Dr. Rushikesh diagnoses these with throat exam and nasal endoscopy, and manages them with targeted therapy.
Is online consultation effective for ENT conditions?

How are fungal ear infections (Otomycosis) treated?
