ENT in Chungju-si, Chungbuk, Korea

At the beginning of the month, my cold got really bad, and my head hurt so much that I couldn’t even go to work. The medicine I bought at the pharmacy didn’t help, so I called and made an appointment at Im Dae-jun Hospital, which was recommended by local people, and went there the very next day. There were so many people that they weren’t even accepting additional walk-in patients. In addition to the usual nasal disinfection treatment, they took an X-ray of my sinuses to check how much pus had built up and told me which viruses I should normally avoid. They said I had a severe case of the flu when I came in and prescribed medication. When I returned for a follow-up visit, I also received an injection. The test results showed that shellfish and nuts such as walnuts could easily trigger allergies for me, and that regularly consuming foods that don’t agree with me could even cause rhinitis. The doctor was very kind. Thankfully, after taking the medicine for about three days and getting an injection, I recovered from the cold. After looking at my test results, I decided that I should avoid foods that don’t agree with me.

I visited due to a severe throat cold, and Dr. Lee Yong-joo used a device to check the state of my nasal passages and throat, and asked if I had clear nasal discharge and the intensity of my sore throat. After answering these questions, he adjusted the prescription strength, and after taking the medication for four days, my high fever decreased somewhat, and the heaviness in my head became much lighter. To go into more detail, for two days before my visit, over-the-counter medications weren’t helping at all, and I was feeling miserable, struggling with everyday tasks, but after starting the medication, I began to feel refreshed the next day. By the fourth day, my headache completely disappeared. Also, the waiting room had a surprisingly bright atmosphere, and after my consultation, I had a warm cup of tea before calmly heading home.

I visited due to severe sore throat and fever symptoms. There were many patients waiting, so I was exhausted after waiting for almost an hour and a half, but Dr. Kim Bohyung carefully checked my throat. He explained the detailed condition while showing me the throat images on the monitor and applied antiseptic. When I mentioned that I had been taking Tylenol at home, he said that while it’s commonly accepted, it’s better to get an accurate assessment of specific areas at the hospital instead of just relying on painkillers, and he communicated this clearly and concisely, which built my trust in him. After finishing up with some steam inhalation, I went to get my prescription. I understood why there were so many patients and such a long wait. Thanks to Dr. Kim, the pain in speaking reduced over the next two days. Thank you, Doctor!
