Rhinology and Sinus Surgery Focus
Dr Cheong has a strong clinical focus in rhinology, which is the subspecialty area of ENT that deals with the nose, sinuses, nasal breathing, smell function, and allergy-related nasal conditions.
Many patients seek ENT assessment because of long-standing nasal blockage, recurrent sinus infections, persistent mucus, post-nasal drip, facial pressure, reduced sense of smell, snoring, or poor sleep related to blocked nasal passages. These symptoms may be caused by conditions such as allergic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, deviated nasal septum, or enlarged inferior turbinates.
At Dr Cheong’s ENT clinic, patients are assessed with a detailed history, nasal examination, and nasal endoscopy when appropriate. Treatment may include medication, allergy control, nasal sprays, lifestyle advice, or surgical options when symptoms are persistent despite proper medical treatment.
For suitable cases, Dr Cheong provides surgical treatment such as Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS), septoplasty, and turbinoplasty. These procedures aim to improve sinus drainage, relieve nasal obstruction, and restore better nasal airflow while preserving healthy nasal structures as much as possible.
This focused approach allows patients with sinus, allergy, and nasal blockage problems to receive a clearer diagnosis and a more personalised treatment plan.
