PEDIATRIC ENT CARE
Our Pediatric ENT Specialists
Our Pediatric ENT specialists provide evaluation and treatment for a wide range of childhood ENT conditions.
Tonsils & Recurrent Tonsillitis
Children with frequently enlarged or infected tonsils may experience recurrent throat infections, difficulty swallowing, sore throat, fever, snoring, or sleep disturbances.
Depending on the severity and frequency of symptoms, medical treatment or tonsil surgery may be considered.
Enlarged Adenoids
Enlarged adenoids can obstruct the nasal airway and may cause persistent mouth breathing, nasal blockage, snoring, disturbed sleep, recurrent infections, or ear problems.
Ear Infections
Recurrent ear infections are common in childhood and may cause ear pain, fever, irritability, or temporary hearing difficulties.
Glue Ear & Fluid in the Ear
Fluid behind the eardrum, commonly known as glue ear or otitis media with effusion, can cause temporary hearing loss and may affect speech, language, learning, and communication in children.
Timely assessment is important for appropriate management.
Pediatric Hearing Loss
Hearing plays an important role in speech and language development. Our services include hearing evaluation and assessment of childhood hearing loss.
Hearing difficulties may be related to ear infections, fluid in the middle ear, congenital conditions, or other causes.
Ear Discharge
Persistent or recurrent ear discharge may indicate an underlying ear infection or other middle-ear problem.
Appropriate ENT evaluation and treatment can help identify and manage the underlying condition.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pediatric ENT
-
When should my child see a Pediatric ENT specialist?
A child may benefit from an ENT evaluation if they have recurrent ear infections, hearing problems, frequent tonsillitis, enlarged tonsils or adenoids, persistent nasal blockage, mouth breathing, snoring, sleep problems, or recurrent throat infections.
-
Are enlarged tonsils and adenoids common in children?
Yes. Tonsils and adenoids are part of the immune system and are commonly enlarged during childhood. However, significant enlargement can sometimes contribute to nasal obstruction, mouth breathing, snoring, recurrent infections, or sleep-disordered breathing.
-
Does every child with enlarged tonsils need surgery?
No. Surgery is not required in every case. The need for tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy depends on the child's symptoms, examination findings, frequency of infections, airway obstruction, sleep-related symptoms, and overall clinical condition.
-
Can ear infections cause hearing loss in children?
Ear infections or persistent fluid behind the eardrum can cause temporary hearing difficulties. If hearing problems persist, an ENT specialist may recommend appropriate hearing evaluation and treatment.
-
When should a child's hearing be checked?
Hearing should be evaluated when there are concerns about speech development, delayed responses to sounds, difficulty following instructions, recurrent ear infections, school-related listening difficulties, or suspected hearing loss. Newborn and age-appropriate hearing screening is also important.
-
Is snoring normal in children?
Occasional snoring can occur, particularly during illness or nasal congestion. However, persistent loud snoring, pauses in breathing, gasping, restless sleep, or daytime behavioral and concentration problems may require evaluation for sleep-disordered breathing.
-
Can enlarged adenoids cause mouth breathing?
Yes. Enlarged adenoids can obstruct the nasal airway and contribute to persistent mouth breathing, nasal blockage, snoring, and disturbed sleep. An ENT evaluation can help determine whether enlarged adenoids are contributing to the symptoms.
-
What is an adenoidectomy?
An adenoidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove enlarged or problematic adenoid tissue. It may be recommended in selected children when enlarged adenoids contribute to significant nasal obstruction, recurrent problems, ear disease, or sleep-disordered breathing.
-
What is adenotonsillectomy?
Adenotonsillectomy is the surgical removal of both the adenoids and tonsils. It may be considered for children with certain recurrent infections or significant upper-airway obstruction and sleep-disordered breathing.
