Allergies

Allergies occur when the immune system misinterprets a harmless substance like food, grass, or animal dander as dangerous. Allergy symptoms may include a runny nose, hives, skin rash, breathing issues, asthma, watery eyes, or anaphylaxis, a severe and life-threatening reaction that involves swelling of the throat. Penn Medicine Becker ENT and Allergy in Sewell, NJ, offers allergy testing and treatment for both adults and children by Board-Certified allergists and immunologists.

Snoring

Snoring is an unpleasant sound created when the upper airway’s soft tissue vibrates during sleep due to choppy airflow in the nose or throat. A Becker ENT sleep specialist examines the oral cavity, nasal passages, soft palate, tongue, adenoids, tonsils, and neck tissue to find the cause of choppy airflow or to locate obstructed breathing. Treatment varies depending on the cause.

Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a serious disorder that interrupts breathing multiple times each night. Patients may experience irregular snoring that involves gasps, pauses in breathing, and snorting. 

To diagnose sleep apnea, our sleep specialists in Sewell, NJ, perform sleep studies so they can monitor the patient’s breathing and oxygen saturation levels. The sleep study also measures the number of times the patient’s breathing slows or stops per hour. 

Sleep apnea treatment may involve the use of an oral device similar to a mouthguard or a breathing machine known as CPAP.

Ears and Hearing Loss

Hearing loss is often preventable. Signs of hearing loss may include difficulty hearing conversations in a noisy environment, constant ear pain, or ringing ears. Our office in Sewell, NJ, provides the latest technology to detect hearing loss and improve hearing, including removing impacted earwax, medications, surgical correction for genetic factors or traumatic injuries, and cochlear implants to treat auditory nerve hearing loss. 

Pediatric Ear, Nose & Throat

Children experiencing pediatric snoring and sleep issues, allergies, chronic ear infections, tonsil infections, airway issues, asthma, speech disorders, or other ear nose and throat symptoms should visit the highly-skilled and kid-friendly Penn Medicine Becker audiologists and ENT specialists. Our physicians understand that visiting the doctor can be scary for young patients and they work hard to create a welcoming, comfortable environment for families. 

Voice and Swallowing

Swallowing disorders (dysphagia) often trigger regurgitation, gagging, pain when swallowing, weight loss, choking, and heartburn. An ENT specialist will determine the cause of dysphagia, which may be due to reflux disease, esophagus blockages, and nervous or immune system disorders.

Penn Medicine Becker ENT specialists and speech-language pathologists work together to treat swallowing disorders, rough, weak, too-high or too-low voice disorders, and professional voice complications for telemarketers, singers, teachers, and lawyers.
