Where Practice Meets Precision

Under the theme “How to Write the Correct Prescription for the ENT Patient,” ORLAP 2025 became a practical forum that bridged theory with day-to-day clinical decision-making. Discussions focused on questions every specialist faces in their practice:

• What are the most effective treatments for otitis media, sinusitis, and tonsillitis?
• When should nasal steroid sprays or antihistamine drops be prescribed?
• What are the safest choices in antibiotic therapy for ENT infections?
• How should balance disorders, vertigo, and ear dizziness be approached pharmacologically?
• When is it time to refer a child for cochlear implantation, and how do we differentiate between device types?
• What are the gold-standard treatments for reflux and chronic rhinitis?

Every session blended scientific depth with practical clarity, giving attendees tools they could immediately apply in clinical settings.

From Sinuses to Sound — A Program Designed Around Everyday Challenges

The scientific agenda covered the full ENT spectrum — rhinology, otology, head & neck, audiology, and phoniatrics — all through a prescription-centered approach.

Highlights included:

• Rhinology Series: Medical and pharmacological management of acute and chronic sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, and nasal obstruction.
• Head & Neck Sessions: Treatment pathways for tonsillitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and dysphonia.
• Otology Updates: Best medications for ear infections, Bell’s palsy, and vestibular
• Phoniatrics Sessions: Voice rehabilitation, swallowing therapy, and modern strategies in post-laryngectomy recovery.

With every topic tied to prescription optimization, the conference reinforced the responsibility of precise, evidence-based ENT pharmacotherapy.
