I am an ENT specialist with over 6 years of clincial practice and in this time I have tried to balance hospital work with building my own setup. Currently I work as Consultant at Meridian Hospital Kolathur and also as visiting consultant at VIHAA Hospital Anna Nagar. Along with this I started SCOPE ENT CLINIC in Villivakkam, which is my own space to treat patients with more time n focus. Running a clinic teaches you different kind of responsibility, not only treatment but also trust, making sure patient feels heard and safe. My practice covers a wide range of ENT issues, from common ear infections, sinus problems, throat disorders to more complex surgical cases. I try to focus on giving indiviualised treatment plans, because each patient story is differnt even if the diagnosis sounds similar. Working in multiple hospitals also let me collabrate with other specialities which is important when dealing with complicated ENT cases linked to allergy, pediatrics or even neuro. Founding my own clinic was both challenging and rewarding. Some days are hard, managing staff, handling emergencies, ensuring things run smooth.. but it gave me chance to create an environment where patients get continuity of care. For me ENT is not just about procedures but also education, I try to explain conditions in simple words, guide on prevention and lifestyle changes that can reduce recurrnce. Over these years, what matters most to me is not just how many cases I handled but the connections built with patients and their families. I want to keep growing, keep learning new techniques and stay updated with advances in ENT, but at the same time keep the human touch alive in practice.

Hello mam Nasal bleeding in medical term is EPISTAXIS First of all see whether your daughter has nose picking If so kindly ask her to avoid it and cut her grown nails Please dont panic If all blood reports are within normal limits then if she has snoring at night mouth breathing then needs a scan to be taken probably CT PNS to rule out any local nasal causes kindly follow epistaxis protocol to bend down and pinch the nose and breathe through mouth for 2 min this will control the bleed hope this is useful take care

Recurrent nosebleeds, or epistaxis, in children, particularly during specific seasons like summer, can be quite frustrating. Given that all tests are normal, it’s useful to consider some common factors that can lead to frequent nosebleeds. One frequent cause is the drying out of the nasal mucosa due to dry weather, which is exacerbated by heating or air conditioning. This can lead to cracking and bleeding in the tiny vessels of the nose. The fact that nosebleeds are mostly occurring in early morning while she is sleeping suggests that the environment might be contributing. Using a humidifier in her room during the night can help maintain moisture in the air and reduce drying of the nasal lining. Additionally, apply a saline nasal spray or a dab of vaseline to her nostrils, using a cotton swab, before going to bed. This can further help to keep the nasal passages moist. In terms of lifestyle, ensure she is well-hydrated throughout the day, as good hydration helps maintain mucosal health. Avoid exposure to potential irritants such as cigarette smoke or allergens that might aggravate the condition. If she picks her nose, discourage this habit, as physical irritation can worsen the situation. If these interventions do not bring improvement, it may be worthwhile revisiting her healthcare provider for further evaluation. Despite normal test results, persistent or worsening bleeds can occasionally be linked to less common conditions like minor blood clotting disorders or rarely, anatomical issues that may not have been detectable in prior assessments. It might be prudent to inquire about the possibility of seeing an ENT specialist if this hasn’t been done already. The main goal is to identify the trigger and address it specifically. If during any nosebleeding episode, it does not stop after 20 minutes of applying constant pressure, or if she experiences significant blood loss, it would be appropriate to seek immediate medical attention.
