Frequently Asked Questions
How long does tonsillitis surgery (tonsillectomy) take to recover from?
Tonsillectomy is a day-case operation. Most adults need 10–14 days off normal activities; children recover faster — usually a week. Sore throat for the first week is normal and managed with regular pain relief.
My child keeps getting ear infections — is grommets surgery the answer?
If a child has more than 3–4 ear infections in 6 months or persistent glue ear with hearing loss, grommets (ventilation tubes) often help. We assess fully before recommending surgery — many cases settle with proper medical management.
Can chronic sinus infection really be cured?
Most chronic sinusitis improves significantly with proper treatment — saline rinses, steroid sprays and a structured allergy plan. A subset benefits from endoscopic sinus surgery. We work through the medical options first.
Do you do hearing tests for children?
Yes. We have audiology equipment suited for children, and pediatric ENT consultants who can assess speech delay related to hearing loss.
Will surgery cure my snoring?
It depends on the cause. Septoplasty helps if the nose is blocked; soft palate procedures can help if the snoring originates there; tongue-base or weight management are sometimes needed. We assess properly first — surgery is not a one-size-fits-all answer.
What Our Patients Say
“Five years of recurrent tonsillitis. Tonsillectomy done as day case — home that evening, no infections since.”
“Sudden hearing loss in one ear. They diagnosed and started treatment within hours. Hearing fully recovered.”
“My daughter’s glue ear was missed for two years. Grommets and her speech took off within months.”
Service Coverage in Pokhara
We serve patients from across Pokhara and surrounding areas:
ENT Problems Quietly Erode Quality of Life
Ear, nose and throat conditions are easy to tolerate and easy to underestimate. Chronic sinus blockage, recurrent throat infection, gradual hearing loss, vertigo or disruptive snoring rarely feel like emergencies — yet they steadily erode sleep, concentration, relationships and confidence. Most are very treatable once properly assessed, often more simply than patients expect.
Proper assessment frequently means more than a torch and a quick look: office endoscopy and audiology turn guesswork into a precise diagnosis, which is what makes treatment effective.
Hearing, Children and Speech
Untreated hearing problems in children can delay speech and learning, and the cause — such as glue ear — is often correctable. Persistent ear infections or suspected hearing difficulty in a child should be assessed promptly with child-appropriate audiology rather than left to “grow out of”.
Surgery When Needed — Often Day-Case
Many ENT operations, including tonsillectomy and grommet insertion, are day-case procedures with predictable recovery. We work through medical options first and recommend surgery only when it offers the clearest benefit, with realistic recovery expectations explained beforehand.
Costs, Audiology and Insurance
Consultation, audiology and surgical rates are published transparently, with on-site hearing testing and endoscopy avoiding referral delays. We work with most major insurers — ask us to confirm coverage before any procedure.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long is recovery after tonsillectomy?
A day-case operation; adults usually need 10–14 days off normal activity, children recover faster. A sore throat in the first week is expected and managed with regular pain relief.
My child keeps getting ear infections — is surgery needed?
Sometimes grommets help if infections are frequent or glue ear causes hearing loss, but many cases settle with proper medical management. We assess fully first.
Can chronic sinusitis be cured?
Most improve substantially with structured medical treatment; a subset benefits from endoscopic surgery. We exhaust medical options first.
Do you test children’s hearing?
Yes, with child-appropriate audiology and paediatric ENT assessment, including for speech delay.
Will surgery stop my snoring?
It depends on the cause. We assess properly first — surgery is not a universal answer to snoring.

Why ENT Problems Deserve Proper Assessment
Ear, nose and throat conditions are easy to tolerate for years, which is exactly why they are so often left untreated until they significantly affect sleep, hearing, balance or quality of life. Recurrent sinus infection, persistent blocked nose, gradual hearing loss, troublesome vertigo and disruptive snoring are not things to simply endure. Most are very treatable, and proper assessment — often including endoscopy or audiology rather than a brief look — is what turns guesswork into an effective plan.
Hearing, Children and Everyday Function
Untreated hearing problems in children can delay speech and learning, and the cause — such as glue ear — is frequently correctable when identified early. In adults, gradual hearing loss is often ignored for years despite a real impact on work and relationships. Prompt, child-appropriate or adult audiology gives a clear answer and a path forward instead of slow, avoidable decline.
Surgery, Costs and Insurance
Many ENT operations — including tonsillectomy and grommet insertion — are predictable day-case procedures. We work through medical options first and recommend surgery only when it offers the clearest benefit, explaining realistic recovery beforehand. Consultation, audiology and surgical prices are published transparently, with on-site testing avoiding referral delays, and most major insurers are accepted.
Further Questions
How do I prepare for a hearing test?
No special preparation is needed. If you have ear pain or discharge, tell us — sometimes wax removal or treating infection comes first.
Is snoring just a nuisance or a health issue?
It can be either. Loud snoring with pauses or daytime sleepiness needs assessment, as it may indicate sleep apnoea.
Will my child grow out of recurrent ear infections?
Many do, but frequent infections or hearing loss warrant assessment — treatable causes should not be left.
