Pediatric ENT Services
Healthy Ears, Nose & Throat
Our Pediatric ENT services focus on comprehensive care for children, addressing common and complex issues of the ear, nose, throat, and airway.
Pediatric ENT Services – Common Treatments
1. Tonsillectomy & Adenoidectomy
Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy are common pediatric ENT surgeries performed to treat recurrent throat infections, obstructive sleep apnoea, or enlarged adenoids/tonsils. These procedures help children breathe, eat, and sleep better while reducing repeated infections, ensuring improved long-term throat and airway health.
2. Ear Tube Insertion (Myringotomy with Grommets)
Children with repeated ear infections or persistent middle ear fluid benefit from ear tube insertion. Small tubes are placed in the eardrum to ventilate the middle ear, reduce infections, and improve hearing. This procedure is safe, quick, and highly effective in preventing speech or developmental delays caused by hearing issues.
3. Pediatric Airway Surgery
Pediatric airway surgeries help children facing breathing difficulties due to congenital narrowing, injury, or infections. These surgeries ensure that children breathe more comfortably, avoid recurring hospitalizations, and lead healthier lives. Careful evaluation and advanced surgical techniques make treatment both safe and effective for long-term airway health.
4. Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
Minimally invasive endoscopic sinus surgery is used to treat chronic sinus infections, nasal blockage, or structural problems in children. It restores proper nasal drainage and airflow. This advanced approach ensures faster recovery, reduced discomfort, and a long-lasting solution for children struggling with persistent nasal and sinus issues.
5. Cochlear Implantation
For children with severe hearing loss not improved by hearing aids, cochlear implantation is a life-changing procedure. It directly stimulates the auditory nerve, enabling the child to hear sounds, develop speech, and communicate better. Early implantation greatly improves learning, speech development, and overall quality of life.
6. Tongue-Tie (Frenotomy)
A tongue-tie can restrict a baby’s tongue movement, making breastfeeding or speech development difficult. A simple surgical release procedure called frenotomy helps restore normal tongue function. This quick and safe treatment improves feeding in infants and supports proper speech and oral development as the child grows.
7. Pediatric Tracheostomy
Tracheostomy may be necessary for children with severe airway obstruction or prolonged breathing support needs. It creates a direct opening in the windpipe for breathing. With modern techniques and expert care, children with tracheostomy can live active lives while their underlying condition is managed or corrected.
8. Allergy Testing & Immunotherapy
Children suffering from frequent nasal allergies, sneezing, or sinus congestion benefit from allergy testing to identify triggers. Immunotherapy helps reduce allergic reactions over time, improving nasal breathing and overall health. This approach ensures children experience fewer interruptions in daily life caused by allergic nose and sinus problems.
9. Pediatric Hearing Rehabilitation
Children with hearing loss require proper rehabilitation for speech and language development. Rehabilitation includes hearing aids, speech therapy, and auditory training. Early detection and consistent treatment help children hear, communicate, and integrate successfully into school and social life, improving their confidence and overall quality of life.
10. Pediatric Endoscopic Procedures
Advanced endoscopic procedures for pediatric ENT allow accurate diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment of nasal, throat, and airway conditions. These procedures minimize pain, reduce recovery time, and offer safer outcomes for children. Endoscopy plays a crucial role in identifying hidden causes of ENT problems at an early stage.
Pediatric ENT Services – Common Ailments
1. Recurrent Ear Infections (Otitis Media)
Children are more prone to frequent ear infections due to their developing immune systems and shorter ear canals. Symptoms include ear pain, irritability, fever, and sometimes fluid discharge. If untreated, repeated infections may cause temporary or permanent hearing loss. Early diagnosis and proper treatment help protect a child’s hearing and development.
2. Enlarged Adenoids
Adenoids are lymphoid tissues located behind the nose that may enlarge due to frequent infections or allergies. Enlarged adenoids can block the airway, causing mouth breathing, nasal speech, snoring, and sleep disturbances. In severe cases, they may contribute to ear problems and poor growth, requiring medical evaluation or surgical removal.
3. Tonsillitis & Recurrent Throat Infections
Tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils caused by bacteria or viruses. Children may experience recurrent throat pain, difficulty swallowing, fever, and bad breath. Persistent tonsillitis can interfere with eating, sleeping, and overall growth. In chronic cases, tonsillectomy may be recommended to improve the child’s health and quality of life.
4. Childhood Sleep Apnea & Snoring
Obstructive sleep apnea in children is often caused by enlarged tonsils or adenoids. It leads to loud snoring, restless sleep, pauses in breathing, and daytime tiredness. If untreated, it can affect learning, behavior, and heart health. Timely evaluation ensures proper treatment and restores healthy, restful sleep for the child.
5. Hearing Loss in Children
Hearing problems in children may be due to fluid buildup, recurrent infections, or congenital causes. Symptoms include delayed speech, poor response to sounds, or inattentiveness. Untreated hearing loss can impact learning and communication. Early screening, hearing tests, and timely treatment ensure proper language development and academic success.
6. Speech Delay due to ENT Problems
Some children develop delayed or unclear speech due to hearing difficulties caused by ear infections, fluid accumulation, or structural issues. Speech delay may also result from enlarged adenoids or tongue-tie. Identifying the root ENT cause and early intervention through medical or surgical care helps children achieve normal speech development.
7. Sinus Infections (Sinusitis)
Sinusitis in children is often caused by allergies, viral infections, or nasal blockages. Symptoms include prolonged runny nose, facial pain, cough, and nasal congestion. Chronic sinus infections may affect sleep and concentration. Proper diagnosis, medical treatment, and preventive care help children recover and reduce the risk of repeated episodes.
8. Allergic Rhinitis
Allergic rhinitis is a common problem in children, triggered by dust, pollen, or environmental allergens. Symptoms include frequent sneezing, runny or blocked nose, itchy eyes, and disturbed sleep. Left untreated, it may cause ear infections or sinus problems. Allergy management, lifestyle changes, and medications help improve a child’s daily comfort.
9. Congenital Airway Problems
Some children are born with airway abnormalities such as laryngomalacia, choanal atresia, or tracheal narrowing. These may cause noisy breathing, feeding difficulties, or recurrent chest infections. Severe cases can lead to life-threatening breathing problems. Early diagnosis by an ENT specialist and appropriate treatment are essential for safe growth and development.
10. Neck Masses & Swellings
Neck swellings in children may be due to infections, lymph node enlargement, cysts, or congenital conditions like thyroglossal duct cysts. While many are harmless, some may require surgery or biopsy to rule out serious causes. An ENT evaluation helps identify the problem early and ensures the right treatment for recovery.
