A member asked:
I have relapsing polychondritis and need to know if i should see an ent doctor or a rheumatologist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly both: I would start with a rheumatologist. The condition is primarily diagnosed and treated by a rheumatologist. Sometimes the rheumatologist will refer you to an ENT to help manage a specific issue such as if your pharynx (voice box/vocal cords) are effected.
