A PFT is a series of tests used to measure lung function, including air flow, lung volume, and gas exchange, to diagnose and monitor respiratory conditions.

Avoid smoking and heavy meals before the test, inform your healthcare provider about any medications, and wear comfortable clothing.

Key parameters include Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1), Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF), Residual Volume (RV), and Diffusing Capacity (DLCO).

The Pulmonary Function Test at Chirayu SuperSpeciality Hospital is priced at ₹1500.

ENT specialists treat a wide range of conditions related to the ears, nose, throat, head, and neck, including sinusitis, hearing loss, throat infections, and more.

Common symptoms include persistent ear pain, hearing loss, sinus pain, frequent sore throats, hoarseness, and dizziness.

Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses, often treated with medications, nasal sprays, or in severe cases, surgery.

Hearing loss is diagnosed through hearing tests and treated with hearing aids, medications, or surgical interventions, depending on the cause.

During an ENT consultation, expect a thorough examination, discussion of symptoms, and potential diagnostic tests.

Recovery time is typically shorter than traditional surgery. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days to weeks.
