Dryness and discomfort in the mouth and eyes, brought on by lacrimal and salivary gland dysfunction, are ENT symptoms in SS. However, ENT regions are involved in more areas than just the ocular surface and mouth cavity. Due to laryngopharyngeal involvement, patients may experience hoarseness, dysphagia, and the sensation that something foreign is in their throat. Common nasal symptoms include nasal dryness, congestion, and recurrent sinusitis, while Eustachian tube dysfunction can lead to middle ear infections and hearing problems. To improve the quality of life in SS patients, clinicians and healthcare professionals should be careful in identifying and treating these symptoms. More investigations and clinical trials are required to create tailored medicines that can reduce ENT symptoms and enhance long-term outcomes for SS patients.</p> 2024-03-05T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Internet Journal of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology
