For a normal cold or throat problem, I usually start with a neighborhood ENT now. That took me a while to accept because back home ENT sounded too specific, but in Korea those clinics handle a lot of everyday sick-person problems fast and with less waiting than a hospital. If it is stomach-related, then I switch to 내과 pretty quickly.
