⸺ ENT Area
Ear
Ear pain
Recurrent infections, ear infections, or persistent discomfort that affects sleep and quality of life. We accurately assess the cause to prevent recurrence.
Hearing loss
Progressive hearing loss, a feeling of fullness or blockage, or sudden changes in hearing. Early diagnosis makes all the difference in the prognosis.
Tinnitus
Persistent ringing or noises that interfere with concentration, sleep, and well-being. We investigate their origin to offer a real, not just palliative, approach.
Vertigo and dizziness
Vestibular balance disorders require specialized evaluation. We differentiate the cause for targeted and effective treatment.
⸺ ENT Area
Nose
Nasal obstruction
Sustained breathing difficulty through one or both nostrils. We identify the structural or functional cause for definitive treatment.
Sinusitis
Congestion, facial pressure, and repeated episodes that impair quality of life. We assess whether medical treatment or an endoscopic approach is required.
Rhinitis
Persistent nasal symptoms of allergic or non-allergic origin. We investigate the cause to reduce the long-term symptom burden.
Nosebleed
Occasional or recurrent nosebleeds: we investigate the cause and develop a treatment plan. We rule out underlying pathology through a thorough examination.
⸺ ENT Area
Throat and voice
Sore throat
Persistent or recurring discomfort requiring precise clinical evaluation. We differentiate between viral, bacterial, and structural origins for targeted treatment.
Dysphonia
Hoarseness, vocal fatigue, or changes in timbre in both professional and non-professional voice users. We examine the larynx to rule out pathology and guide treatment.
Difficulty swallowing
Discomfort or a feeling of blockage when swallowing. A symptom that deserves rigorous investigation to rule out structural or neurological causes.
Chronic cough / throat clearing
Persistent irritation that affects the voice, sleep, and daily comfort. We evaluate whether the cause is laryngeal, pharyngeal, or reflux-related for a specific treatment approach.
⸺ Signs of consultation
When to consult an otolaryngologist

- Nasal congestion that does not improve over time.
- Ear pain, pressure, or a feeling of fullness.
- Persistent hearing loss or tinnitus.
- Hoarseness that has been developing for several weeks.
- Pain or difficulty swallowing.

⸺ Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know
Why do I have a blocked ear or ear pain?
Ear pain or a feeling of fullness or blockage can be caused by an infection, earwax buildup, pressure changes, or inflammation of the ear canal. In most cases, it has a simple solution when the cause is identified early. At Monarka, we perform a thorough ear examination to accurately guide the diagnosis from the first visit.
When should I worry about hearing loss?
A gradual decrease in hearing, a persistent feeling of fullness or blockage, or sudden hearing loss are signs that warrant prompt specialist evaluation. Sudden hearing loss, in particular, has a better prognosis the sooner it is treated. Our ENT specialist performs a comprehensive hearing evaluation to determine the cause and propose a treatment plan.
What do ringing or tinnitus sounds mean?
Tinnitus is perceived as ringing, hissing, or continuous noises in the ear without an external source. In most cases, it is related to alterations in the auditory system—not to serious pathology—but it requires an individualized evaluation to rule out treatable causes and guide the approach. Real therapeutic options exist; the first step is an accurate diagnosis.
Why is my nose constantly blocked?
Chronic nasal obstruction can be caused by allergic rhinitis, a deviated septum, turbinate hypertrophy, or recurrent sinusitis. When breathing difficulties persist, they affect sleep, concentration, and quality of life. At Monarka, we investigate the underlying structural or functional cause to offer treatment aimed at real improvement, not just temporary relief.
What is sinusitis and when should it be treated?
Sinusitis is the inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, causing congestion, facial pressure, and persistent discharge. When episodes are recurrent or do not respond to standard treatment, an endoscopic evaluation may be necessary to determine if there is a treatable structural cause. Identifying whether the sinusitis is acute, chronic, or of allergic origin completely determines the approach.
How can I tell if I have allergic rhinitis?
Allergic rhinitis typically manifests with nasal congestion, bouts of sneezing, itching, and watery nasal discharge, often associated with specific times of the year or particular triggers. However, non-allergic rhinitis with similar symptoms also exists. A proper differential diagnosis—which sometimes includes allergy testing—allows for precise treatment and long-term symptom reduction.
When should you see a doctor for a sore throat?
A sore throat, even occasionally, usually resolves on its own. You should consult a specialist if the pain persists for more than two weeks, recurs frequently, is accompanied by difficulty swallowing, persistent hoarseness, or lumps in the neck. These symptoms require a direct examination to rule out underlying conditions that are not visible without specialized instruments.
Can an ENT specialist treat sleep apnea?
Yes. Sleep apnea often has an anatomical origin—nasal obstruction, tonsillar hypertrophy, palate or pharyngeal abnormalities—which falls directly under the ENT field. Dr. Páez Romero treats sleep apnea in both adults and adolescents, assessing whether the most appropriate approach is medical, surgical, or a combination of our Sleep Unit and other specialties.
What is tonsillitis and how is it treated?
Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the tonsils, usually caused by a virus or bacteria. Occasional episodes are treated medically. When they are recurrent—more than four or five times a year—or cause complications, a tonsillectomy may be the definitive solution. At Monarka, we evaluate each case individually to determine when conservative treatment is sufficient and when surgery offers a better quality of life.
When should you seek medical advice for dizziness or vertigo?
Vestibular vertigo—related to the inner ear—is one of the most common causes of severe dizziness and can be treated successfully when correctly diagnosed. It should be sought medical attention when dizziness is recurrent, accompanied by hearing loss or tinnitus, or when it interferes with daily life. A complete ENT evaluation allows for differentiation from other causes and guides the appropriate treatment.
