ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) red flags are critical warning signs that all doctors regardless of specialty should recognize early. Symptoms like persistent hoarseness, unilateral nasal obstruction, unexplained hearing loss, or recurrent nosebleeds can indicate serious underlying conditions such as malignancy or vascular abnormalities. Sudden facial weakness, progressive dysphagia, or a painless neck mass should also raise immediate concern. Early identification and timely referral to an ENT specialist can be life-saving and significantly improve patient outcomes. This session will help clinicians sharpen their diagnostic instincts when it comes to head and neck warning signs.
