Otorhinolaryngological treatments

The nose, throat, and ear form a closely connected system: inflammation and recurrent upper respiratory tract disorders can impair middle ear ventilation, causing a feeling of fullness and reduced hearing. The ENT treatments at Bibione Thermae harness the properties of the thermal water to help restore proper ear function, with specific treatments for adults and children. Particularly indicated for conductive hearing loss, recurrent infections, chronic bronchitis, and asthma, they can be combined with inhalation treatments and follow-up tympanometry for an integrated approach to the upper respiratory tract.

O.R.L. treatment and care in Bibione Thermae

Endotympanic insufflations

In adults, the endetympanic insufflations are performed through a thin catheter, gently introduced into the nostril down to the level of the Eustachian tube. Here, low-pressure air and nebulized thermal water are insufflated, to promote the restoration of normal pressure in the middle ear and relieve the sensation of a blocked or muffled ear.

Crenotherapy device

For children, the crenotherapy Politzer device offers a gentler treatment method, without the use of a catheter. A small nasal olive is placed in one nostril, while the other nostril and mouth remain closed. Through swallowing, low-pressure air and atomized thermal water reach the Eustachian tube, promoting its clearance and proper ventilation of the middle ear.

Warnings

Otorhinolaryngological procedures cannot be performed in the presence of acute inflammation in the affected areas.
