Paediatric ENT

Common Conditions in Pediatric ENT

Our pediatric ENT facility is well-equipped to treat a wide range of ENT disorders in children. Among the most prevalent disorders we diagnose and treat are:

• Ear Infections
• Tonsillitis and adenoiditis
• Allergies and sinusitis
• Sleep disorders
• Voice and speech problems
• Recurring infections
• Hearing loss or other ear-related issues
• Speech and language issues

When should you consider seeing our experts?

There are various signs that our pediatric ENT expert should be consulted. These are some examples:

• Recurring Infections: Children with recurring ear infections, tonsillitis, or sinusitis that seriously impair their quality of life may need to see a pediatric ENT expert to discuss treatment options.
• Hearing Loss or Other Ear-Related Issues: If your kid is experiencing hearing loss, speech delay, or other ear-related issues, schedule an appointment with our pediatric ENT. An expert should be consulted to determine the underlying cause and give suitable treatment.
• Breathing and Sleep Issues: Children who snore, have sleep disturbances, or have difficulty breathing while sleeping should be checked by our pediatric ENT expert to see if an underlying ENT problem, such as enlarged tonsils or adenoids, is contributing to the symptoms.
• Speech and Language issues: If a child has speech and language issues, such as hoarseness, difficulty articulating sounds, or delayed speech development, a visit with a pediatric ENT expert may be required to evaluate the vocal and speech mechanisms.

How children are diagnosed?

• CT Scan (Computed Tomography)
• MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
• Flexible nasopharyngoscopy
• Allergy Testing
• Nasal Endoscopy
• Swallowing Studies

• Vestibular Testing
• Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA)

Treatment

Our department provides a comprehensive spectrum of pediatric ENT treatments and procedures. These are some examples:

• Medical Care: We offer medical care for a variety of ENT problems, including medicines, nasal sprays, allergy shots, desensitization, as well as other conservative measures. Our goal is to precisely reduce symptoms and promote overall health.
• Surgical Interventions: Our staff undertakes surgical interventions to treat ENT disorders when necessary. Ear tube implantation (myringotomy), tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, sinus surgery, airway reconstruction, or surgical correction of congenital defects are some examples.
• Hearing Assessment and Intervention: For children with hearing loss or auditory problems, we provide complete hearing assessments as well as interventions such as hearing aids or cochlear implants.
• Speech and Voice Treatment: To provide voice treatment and speech therapy for children with voice and speech impairments, our team works closely with speech-language pathologists. This all-encompassing strategy attempts to improve vocal and speech function.
• Allergy Management: We provide allergy testing, allergy desensitization, allergen avoidance and environmental adjustments to manage allergies and lessen the impact on ENT disorders.
