To enhance community awareness of ear, nose, and throat (ENT) health, CCACC Health Center will hold a bilingual (Chinese and English) online Health Talk titled "The ENT Survival Guide: Common General ENT Complaints" on Friday, January 2, 2026, from 4:00 to 5:00 PM. The session will be presented by Dr. Andrew Yueh-Ling Lee, a board-certified General Otolaryngologist (ENT).
Dr. Lee practices in Rockville, Maryland, and focuses on treating both adult and pediatric patients with common Ear, Nose, and Throat complaints. He completed his medical training and residency in Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City.
During the Health Talk, Dr. Lee will explain in simple and easy-to-understand terms the most common symptoms encountered in ENT clinics and when to seek medical care. Topics include ear itchiness and discomfort, nasal congestion and runny nose, postnasal drip causing throat irritation, and sore throat, among other common issues. He will also share practical methods for managing these symptoms at home and advise on situations that require timely professional attention.
The Health Talk aims to help community members develop a correct understanding of ENT conditions and learn practical health management strategies under expert guidance, thereby improving family daily health care. The Health Talk will be conducted in both Chinese and English, making it accessible to community members of different language backgrounds.
The Health Talk will be held online and is free for all interested participants. Zoom ID: 832 5463 4273 (or <a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83254634273#success" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">click here</a> to join).
