Allergies

Allergies are the immune system’s reaction to harmless substances like grass, foods, and pet dander that it erroneously marks as dangerous. Although some allergy symptoms appear minor, they can result in chronic sinus problems or ear infections. 

Penn Medicine Becker ENT and Allergy in Mullica Hill, NJ, treats both adults and children for allergies. Early intervention is essential and can reduce severe reactions and long-term health issues.

Snoring

Snoring can cause reduced concentration during daily activities, congestion, and daytime drowsiness in adults and occasionally, children. When patients address the root cause of their turbulent nighttime breathing, they experience more peaceful sleep, improved health, and better relationships with those whose sleep has been affected by their snoring. 

Our experts help each patient locate the issue causing their snoring, such as possible allergies, a swollen airway, excess tissue in the lower neck, deviated septum, long uvula, enlarged turbinates, hypertrophied tonsils, or a small jaw. Sleep apnea is also a common reason for loud snoring. 

Sleep Apnea

Untreated sleep apnea adversely affects a person’s quality of life, school or job performance, mental and physical stamina, and overall health. Some sleep apnea symptoms may include headaches, fatigue, difficulty with memory, moodiness, changes in sexual performance, and even bedwetting. Effective sleep apnea treatment requires a proper diagnosis. For better health and more peaceful sleep, request a sleep study at Becker ENT in Mullica Hill, NJ.  

Ears and Hearing Loss

Chronic ear infections, swimmer’s ear, dizziness, impacted earwax, built-up fluid from allergies or colds, and damaged nerves in the brain or inner ear are frequent sources of hearing loss. 

Penn Medicine Becker ENT and Allergy physicians and audiologists in Mullica Hill, NJ, diagnose and treat a wide variety of hearing problems in adults and children, including ear fullness, eardrum perforations, Eustachian tube dysfunction, tinnitus, and ringing in the ears.  

Pediatric Ear, Nose & Throat

Children may experience ENT symptoms caused by acid reflux, swallowing disorders, asthma, reactive airway disease, tonsil obstructions, obstructive sleep apnea, pediatric snoring, or allergies. Our experienced pediatric otolaryngologists perform a combination of tests to make a precise diagnosis and to treat symptoms in a child-friendly atmosphere. 

Voice and Swallowing

Swallowing problems (dysphagia) are often due to an underlying condition, such as nervous or immune system disorders, acid reflux, or esophagus blockages. Difficulty swallowing may cause regurgitation, pain when swallowing, choking, heartburn, and weight loss. Penn Medicine Becker ENT specialists and speech-language pathologists diagnose and treat dysphagia, professional voice complications, and voice disorders in children and adults.

Head and Neck

Our ENT specialists work together with pathologists, endocrinologists, and radiologists to identify and treat head and neck issues, including thyroid and parathyroid problems and head and neck cancers involving the salivary glands, larynx, or thyroid. 

Nose and Sinus

Physicians at Penn Medicine Becker ENT and Allergy diagnose and treat nose and sinus issues, including blocked sinuses, snoring, and polyps. 

Symptoms typically respond well to medication; however, our otolaryngologist-surgeons also offer advanced nose and sinus treatment technology. Reconstructive surgery, sinus surgery, or head and neck surgery are sometimes required to address a structural issue or a nasal blockage that is causing chronic issues.
