[ENT emergencies in general practice (part 2)]

ENT complaints are common in primary care, yet their assessment can be challenging. Their clinical evaluation requires a knowledge of anatomy, pathology, and differential diagnoses. The boundaries between benign conditions and those requiring specific treatment or specialist referral is sometimes unclear. A structured clinical reasoning process, combined with a few key references, helps avoid the most common pitfalls. This illustrated practical guide is designed to support primary care physicians in providing safe, pragmatic, and guideline-based management. This second part addresses non-infectious ear disorders as well as several common conditions involving the nose and cervical region.
