Dr Gan Eng Cern provides specialist diagnosis and treatment for a full spectrum of ear, nose and throat conditions — from common allergies to complex sinus surgery. All under one roof at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital.
Under the care of Dr Gan Eng Cern, our clinic diagnoses and treats a wide range of ear, nose and throat conditions. Care begins with a thorough assessment and clear diagnosis, followed by an individualised treatment plan — from medication to minimally invasive surgery when appropriate.
Rhinitis is commonly triggered by allergens like dust mites or pollen, resulting in a persistently runny nose, sneezing and nasal congestion that disrupts daily life.
Sinusitis causes inflammation of the sinuses, leading to chronic congestion, facial pressure, headaches and post-nasal drip. May require endoscopic surgery if persistent.
Soft, painless growths inside the nasal passages or sinuses that can obstruct airflow, cause recurring infections and reduce the sense of smell.
A bent or crooked nasal septum can cause breathing difficulties, chronic sinus infections and snoring. Corrected surgically with septoplasty when indicated.
Enlarged turbinates narrow the nasal passages, causing persistent nasal congestion and difficulty breathing. Treatment ranges from medication to turbinate reduction surgery.
Nose cancer (nasopharyngeal carcinoma) and recurrent nosebleeds (epistaxis) require prompt specialist evaluation and tailored management.
OSA involves repeated partial or complete upper airway collapse during sleep. Untreated, it significantly increases risk of hypertension, stroke and heart disease.
Snoring may be a sign of structural nasal issues or sleep apnoea. Dr Gan evaluates the root cause and recommends appropriate treatment including surgery if needed.
Persistent insomnia and other sleep disorders linked to ENT causes are assessed and managed with a structured, evidence-based approach including lifestyle and medical interventions.
Bacterial or viral infections of the outer, middle or inner ear causing pain, discharge and temporary hearing loss. Prompt diagnosis prevents complications.
Hearing loss ranges from mild to profound and may be caused by noise exposure, age, infection or structural changes. Early specialist review improves outcomes.
Persistent ringing, buzzing or hissing sounds in one or both ears. Tinnitus can significantly affect concentration and sleep quality, and requires thorough investigation.
Dizziness and spinning sensations are often caused by inner ear conditions such as BPPV or Ménière's disease. Specialist assessment identifies the cause and guides treatment.
Excessive earwax build-up can cause hearing reduction, ear fullness and tinnitus. Safe removal using micro-suction or irrigation is performed in-clinic.
Holes in the eardrum from infection or injury, and unexplained lumps around the ear, require specialist assessment and may need surgical management.
Small tears or holes in the eardrum can result from infection, trauma, or pressure changes, leading to hearing loss and discomfort. Most cases heal naturally, but some require medical or surgical treatment.
Objects lodged in the ear canal—common in children—can cause pain, blockage, or infection. Safe and prompt removal by a specialist helps prevent complications or damage to the ear.
Frequent tonsil infections causing severe sore throat, difficulty swallowing and abscess formation. Tonsillectomy may be recommended for persistent cases.
Benign lesions on the vocal cords including nodules, polyps and cysts cause hoarseness and voice changes. Treatment may involve voice therapy or microsurgery.
Silent reflux affecting the throat and voice box. LPR often presents without heartburn but causes chronic throat clearing, cough and voice changes.
Cancers of the throat including pharyngeal and laryngeal cancers require urgent specialist review. Early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes.
Ulcers, white patches (leukoplakia) and other oral lesions may indicate benign or potentially malignant changes. Prompt assessment and biopsy if indicated.
Recurring ear infections in children can cause hearing difficulties and developmental concerns. Assessment may recommend grommets (ear tubes) for persistent cases.
Early detection of hearing loss in children is critical for language development and learning. Dr Gan conducts hearing assessments and provides appropriate management.
Enlarged adenoids can cause persistent nasal obstruction, mouth breathing, snoring and recurrent infections. Adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy when clinically appropriate.
Allergic rhinitis in children causes chronic nasal symptoms and may worsen asthma. Treatment includes allergen avoidance, medication and immunotherapy in selected cases.
Children with impacted earwax experience hearing reduction and discomfort. Safe micro-suction removal is performed in a child-friendly environment at our clinic.
Repeated tonsil infections can cause sore throat, fever, and swallowing difficulty, disrupting daily activities and sleep. Specialist care helps manage symptoms and assess if further treatment is needed.
Persistent or unexplained cervical lymphadenopathy requires investigation to determine the underlying cause, ranging from infection to lymphoma or head/neck cancer.
Thyroid nodules are common and mostly benign, but require assessment to rule out thyroid cancer. Fine needle aspiration and ultrasound are used for accurate diagnosis.
Swellings of the parotid or submandibular salivary glands, and stones blocking salivary ducts, can cause pain and swelling, particularly during meals.
Branchial cysts, lipomas, sebaceous cysts and other head and neck masses require accurate diagnosis to guide appropriate management including surgical removal.
