Struggling with nasal allergies?
Do your symptoms get so bad they start affecting your ears?

👃 Dr. Gabriel offers comprehensive evaluation and personalized care for allergic rhinitis and other causes of chronic nasal symptoms.

Send us a message today and let’s see if this could help you feel better!

Can Allergies Cause Ear Problems? Yes!

Seasonal or nasal allergies can affect your ears by:
🔹 Blocking the Eustachian tube
🔹 Causing fluid buildup
🔹 Leading to pressure, pain, or temporary hearing loss

Allergic rhinitis can make your ears feel full or plugged.

Treating your allergies may help relieve ear symptoms—see your ENT for advice!

HPV vaccine, protection from developing head and neck cancer? 🧐

Q: Can the HPV vaccine protect me from getting head and neck cancer?

A: Yes! The HPV vaccine is highly effective in preventing infections from high-risk HPV types, including HPV-16, which causes most HPV-related head and neck cancers.

The vaccine is recommended for both males and females, ideally before exposure to the virus. However, adults up to age 45 may still benefit from vaccination.

HPV in Head and Neck Cancers 💉

Q:How does having HPV affect the chances of being cured from cancer?

A: The good news is that HPV-positive head and neck cancers generally respond better to treatment than HPV-negative cancers. Patients with HPV-related cancers have:
🔹 Higher survival rates
🔹 Better response to radiation and chemotherapy
🔹 Lower risk of cancer recurrence

Early detection and proper treatment significantly improve outcomes.
