Larry H. Kalish is an Otolaryngologist (an ear, nose and throat doctor). He works from Suite 206, 203-233 New South Head Road, 2027, Edgecliff, NSW, Australia, in the Edgecliff area.
Many people see an ENT doctor because their nose and sinuses just won’t settle. Larry helps with issues like sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, and chronic rhinosinusitis. In some cases, that can include chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. Nasal polyps can make it harder to breathe through the nose, affect smell, and lead to ongoing blocked-up days.
He also looks after people with long-term or recurring nasal polyps. At times, these problems can sit alongside other breathing concerns. That’s why it can help when your care considers the whole picture, not just one symptom.
As part of checking what’s going on, Larry may use endoscopy to look closely at the inside of the nose and sinus area. If there’s something that needs further review, he can also arrange tissue biopsy. That can be useful when doctors need more information before deciding on next steps.
There are also patients who come in with sinus issues linked to breathing problems, including asthma and eosinophilic asthma. Symptoms can overlap in real life, and it’s common for people to feel like they’re dealing with more than one condition at once.
Sometimes the cause of ongoing sinus problems is less common. Larry may help assess conditions such as mycetoma (a fungal ball in the sinuses) when it’s suspected based on symptoms and exam findings.
In certain situations, he can also support people who need help with sinus cancer. This kind of care is about clear assessment and making sure the right tests and referral steps happen.
Not every symptom is only medical in the usual sense. For some people, breathing feels “too fast” or out of sync, and hyperventilation can be part of what they’re dealing with. Larry can help sort out what’s likely and what isn’t, so you’re not stuck guessing.
If you’re dealing with recurring sinus pain, nasal blockage, polyps, or you’ve been told your case is more complicated, seeing an ENT specialist can make a big difference. Larry H. Kalish is based in Edgecliff and offers practical, hands-on assessment for nose and sinus conditions.
