As we spend more time indoors this fall, I like to remind patients that a few everyday habits can help reduce the spread of respiratory viruses.

Washing your hands regularly, especially before eating or touching your face, is a good place to start. Covering coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your elbow also helps protect the people around you.

One step that’s easy to overlook is airflow. Respiratory viruses can spread through the air, so improving ventilation or using a portable HEPA air purifier can help reduce exposure when people gather indoors.

These habits can’t prevent every cold, but they can help lower your risk and protect those who may be more vulnerable to illness.

If you’re experiencing ongoing ear, nose or throat concerns, I’d be happy to help you understand what’s causing them and discuss your care options. To see me at North ENT Clinic in Vaughan, ask your family physician or nurse practitioner to send a referral. Visit northentclinic.com for our referral form and clinic information.

If you’ve been saying any of these things for a while, it may be worth looking a little deeper. 👂

As an ENT physician, I often see patients who have adapted to symptoms for so long that they’ve started to think of them as “normal.”

Frequently asking people to repeat themselves can point to hearing changes. Persistent ear fullness can sometimes be related to fluid, pressure or Eustachian tube dysfunction. Chronic mouth breathing may signal ongoing nasal obstruction, while regular loud snoring can be associated with restricted airflow and, in some cases, sleep-disordered breathing.

These symptoms don’t automatically mean something is seriously wrong, but persistent symptoms deserve an explanation.

My job isn’t simply to treat the symptom. It’s to understand why it’s happening, assess the structures involved and determine whether treatment could help you breathe, hear or sleep more comfortably.

If something has become your “normal,” but doesn’t quite feel right, it may be time to have it assessed.

When you leave an appointment with me, my goal is for you to understand what we’ve discussed, why I’m recommending a particular next step and how it relates to your concerns.

Medical appointments can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re taking in new information. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions, sharing what’s worrying you and letting me know if something needs more explanation. Those conversations are an important part of developing a plan together.

Reading this feedback means so much to me, and I’m grateful to work alongside a team that helps patients feel welcomed and supported from their first interaction with our clinic.

Thank you for these kind words and for trusting us with your care.

That feeling when you’re sick and suddenly realize just how much you took breathing normally for granted. 😅

But what’s actually happening when your nose feels completely plugged?

When you catch a cold or another viral infection, your immune system triggers inflammation in the tissues lining your nose and sinuses. The blood vessels in those tissues become inflamed and swollen, while mucus production increases. That combination narrows the space available for air to move through your nose, which is why you can feel incredibly “stuffed up” even when blowing your nose doesn’t seem to help much.

For most people, that congestion is temporary and improves as the infection clears. As an ENT physician, I’m more interested when nasal obstruction doesn’t go away, keeps coming back or is accompanied by other persistent symptoms.

Congestion lasting more than about 10 days without improvement, symptoms that improve and then suddenly worsen, recurrent sinus infections, significant facial pain or pressure, or ongoing difficulty breathing through your nose are all good reasons to have things assessed.

Persistent congestion isn’t always “just a stuffy nose.” Allergies, chronic inflammation, nasal polyps and structural issues such as a deviated septum can all play a role.

Breathing through your nose should feel easy most of the time. If it doesn’t, there may be a reason worth investigating.

A closer look matters.

In medicine, small details can make a very big difference. Symptoms that may seem minor on the surface can sometimes reveal important underlying issues when properly evaluated and examined.

One of the most important parts of my role as an ENT specialist is taking the time to truly investigate what patients are experiencing, listen carefully, and assess concerns thoroughly rather than simply treating symptoms at face value.

Whether it’s ear discomfort, hearing changes, chronic congestion, throat concerns, or something that “just doesn’t feel right,” a thoughtful examination is often where answers begin.

Request a referral to see a specialist at North ENT Clinic with your family physician or a nurse practitioner.

When you come to see me, I know you’re not just bringing a list of symptoms into the room. You may be bringing questions, concerns, frustration, uncertainty or simply the hope that someone will take the time to really listen.

That matters to me.

I believe good medical care should feel collaborative. My role isn’t simply to assess your symptoms and tell you what comes next. It’s to understand what you’re experiencing, explain what I’m seeing in a way that makes sense and work with you to develop a plan that feels appropriate for your health and your life.

You should feel comfortable asking questions. You should understand your options. Most importantly, you should leave feeling like you were heard and that you had a voice in your own care.

That’s the kind of relationship I strive to build with every patient who walks through my door.

I see children and adults for a wide range of ear, nose and throat concerns at North ENT Clinic in Vaughan, welcoming patients from across the GTA. Request a referral through your family doctor or a nurse practitioner.

Fall allergies can be frustrating, especially when they start to feel like more than just a little sneezing.

As an ENT, I often see patients dealing with persistent congestion, sinus pressure, post-nasal drip, headaches, a reduced sense of smell and that constant feeling of needing to clear their nose or throat. Seasonal allergens can cause inflammation inside the nose, and when that inflammation persists, it can also interfere with normal sinus drainage.

There are a few simple things I recommend during allergy season: pay attention to daily pollen and allergy forecasts, keep windows closed when counts are high, consider using a HEPA filter indoors and rinse the nasal passages with saline to help physically remove allergens and mucus.

Most importantly, you don’t have to simply tolerate symptoms that continue week after week. If congestion, pressure, recurrent sinus infections or other nasal symptoms are persistent, an ENT assessment can help determine whether allergies are the only factor or if something else may be contributing.

I see both adults and children at North ENT Clinic in Vaughan, and welcome patients from across the GTA. If you’d like to see me, speak with your family doctor or primary care provider about a referral to Dr. Aviva Fliker at North ENT Clinic.
