ENT in City Hall Station, Seoul, Korea

Samsung Dream ENT Clinic in Jongno specializes in nasal diseases and surgeries. It's conveniently connected to Exit 4 of Euljiro 1(il)-ga Station, making it easy to access via public transportation, and they also provide parking. The clinic is located on the 4th floor of the KyoWon Building. However, the entrance can be a bit tricky, so be cautious if it’s your first time visiting. I went there because I had a fracture in my nasal bone and trusted it since they have a panoramic CT scan. The clinic is well-known for performing surgeries for various nasal conditions, such as rhinitis, sinusitis, and deviated septum, as well as for doing both functional and aesthetic nose surgeries simultaneously. It's a very popular clinic, so appointments are necessary. After getting the CT scan and consultation, I scheduled my surgery for two days later. The surgery room, lobby, and recovery room were all in good condition and very clean, which was nice.

For the past three days, I've had a scratchy throat and a little cough, so I've been taking over-the-counter cold medicine. But since last night, I've noticed that my cough has a slight metallic sound and it doesn't seem to be getting any better, so I decided to go see a doctor. I heard there's only one main doctor here and that it's always packed with people from nearby offices, which worried me a bit. However, I went after lunchtime, about an hour later, and there was no waiting; I was seen right away. These days, there are several strains of pneumonia virus going around, and the doctor explained calmly what I should do in different situations and prescribed me some medicine. I was a little scared I might have pneumonia, but I need to take my meds and rest up to get better quickly. The building is clean and it's a large four-story building, so the elevator comes quickly and it's convenient to access.

My child suddenly developed a high fever and runny nose, along with a skin rash. I thought it would go away on its own once the fever came down, but more and more red spots started appearing all over the body, and eventually they became itchy as well. We found a nearby hospital that offered both ENT and Pediatrics care, and Dr. Ji-hee Kim carefully examined my child. She explained that the high fever caused by a common cold had spread severely, resembling baby heat rash. She also explained that when the body feels hot, itching can come along with it, and since children can’t resist itching the way adults can, my child kept scratching, which seemed to leave some areas of the skin looking like severe dermatitis. We were prescribed oral and topical medication, and Dr. Ji-hee Kim additionally advised us to apply soothing gel for a day or two to help cool down the body.
