Dr.Mohanty's Speciality ENT Clinics

Somebody in every household has "that snore" the one that gets jokes at family functions, that's become the reason someone ends up on the sofa or in the next room, that's been normal for so many years nobody questions it anymore. It's practically a character trait at this point: "oh, he's always been a loud sleeper," said with a laugh, like it's charming. But here's the thing Dr. Sanjeev Mohanty wants families to sit with for a moment: loud, habitual snoring isn't always just noise. Sometimes it's your airway quietly asking for help, night after night, while everyone around it just learns to sleep through it. fig 1. That Loud Snoring Might Be More Than Just Snoring Normal snoring vs. something more Occasional snoring after a heavy dinner, one too many drinks at a wedding, or a stuffy nose during a cold is common, harmless, and nothing to read into. What's genuinely different is snoring that's loud every single night, and come...

If you're a parent, you already know the sound that particular cry, at 2 a.m., sharper and more insistent than the usual fussing, where your child keeps tugging at their ear and nothing you do seems to soothe them. You pace the room, try feeding, try rocking, try everything, and somewhere in that exhausted haze you start wondering if this is something you should have caught earlier. fig 1: Your Child's Ear Infection: What Every Parent Should Actually Know Take a breath — this is one of the most common reasons children see a doctor at all, and it happens to nearly every family at some point. Ear infections aren't a sign you missed something. They're simply how a young child's body is built. But parents are often left more confused than reassured after a rushed visit, so let's actually walk through it properly. Why kids get ear infections so much more than adults Children have shorter, more horizontal eustachian tubes the tiny tube connecting t...

fig 1.  The Cold vs. Sinusitis Checklist You wake up with a heavy head, a blocked nose, and that dull pressure sitting right behind your eyes like someone's pressing on them from the inside. You tell yourself it's just a cold — happens every season, drink some kashayam, push through work, it'll pass. Ten days later, you're still telling yourself the same thing, except now your face actually hurts and you've started breathing through your mouth full-time. This is one of the most common mix-ups Dr. Sanjeev Mohanty sees walk into the clinic: people who've spent two weeks treating a sinus infection like an ordinary cold, when a straightforward 10-minute consultation on day three could have sorted the whole thing out. The two conditions overlap just enough in the beginning to genuinely confuse anyone — but they're not the same thing, and they don't respond to the same home remedies. fig 2. Healthy Sinus vs Sinusitis The "double sickenin...

India marks 80 years of independence, a milestone that reflects not only the nation's political freedom but also the progress made in the health and well-being of its people. This celebration goes beyond flags and fireworks; it honors the freedom to breathe, hear, and speak—basic human abilities that connect us to life and to each other. As we commemorate this historic moment, it is essential to recognize the role of health in sustaining the spirit of independence and pride. fig 1. Happy Independence Day The Journey of 80 Years of Freedom India’s independence in 1947 ended centuries of colonial rule and opened the door to self-governance and national identity. The journey since then has been marked by remarkable achievements and ongoing challenges. The freedom gained was not just political; it was a chance to build a society where every citizen could enjoy fundamental rights, including the right to health The first decades after independence focused on establishing institutions, in...

It's late at night. The house has finally gone quiet, everyone's asleep, and you're lying in bed waiting for sleep to catch up with you too. That's usually when it shows up — a thin, high-pitched ringing, or maybe a buzz, a hiss, even a soft hum like a mosquito that never lands and never leaves. You check if a fan is on. You check if it's outside. It isn't. It's just... there. In your ear. And nobody else can hear it but you. fig 1. why is my ear ringing? If that sounds familiar, you already know how strange and honestly a little scary tinnitus can feel the first time — like your body is playing a sound only you're tuned into.  Here's the first thing  Dr. Sanjeev Mohanty wants you to know, and it usually brings people real relief just to hear it: tinnitus is a symptom, not a disease. It's not something wrong with your ears making noise for no reason — it's your ear, or sometimes your brain's hearing pathways, reacting to something under...
