Conditions We Treat at Our Pediatric ENT Clinic

Our Pediatric ENT Clinic specializes in diagnosing and managing a range of conditions affecting the ear, nose, and throat in children. Our comprehensive care approach includes medical treatments, diagnostic evaluations, and surgical interventions as needed.

Ear Conditions:

•       Ear Infections: We address both acute and chronic ear infections, such as otitis media (middle ear infection) and otitis externa (outer ear infection). Treatment may involve antibiotics, ear drops, and, in recurrent cases, surgical procedures like tympanostomy tube placement to drain fluid and prevent future infections.
•       Hearing Loss: Our clinic evaluates different types of hearing loss, including conductive (caused by issues in the outer or middle ear) and sensorineural (caused by inner ear or nerve problems). We conduct diagnostic audiometry to assess hearing ability and provide recommendations for hearing aids or other assistive devices if necessary.
•       Ear Drum Perforations: We treat perforations or damage to the eardrum through tympanoplasty, a surgical procedure aimed at repairing the eardrum to restore hearing and prevent recurrent infections.

Nose Conditions:

•       Sinusitis: Our team manages both acute and chronic sinusitis, which can cause symptoms like nasal congestion and facial pain. Treatment options include medications to reduce inflammation and, if necessary, endoscopic sinus surgery to clear blocked sinuses.
•       Nasal Obstructions: We evaluate and treat nasal obstructions, such as a deviated septum or nasal polyps, that can impede breathing. Surgical interventions may be performed to correct these obstructions and improve airflow and overall quality of life.
•       Allergic Rhinitis: We manage allergic rhinitis, a condition caused by allergens leading to symptoms like sneezing and nasal congestion. Our approach includes medications, allergy testing, and avoidance strategies to alleviate symptoms.

Throat Conditions:

•       Tonsillitis and Adenoiditis: We treat recurrent infections of the tonsils and adenoids with medical management and, if necessary, surgical procedures like tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy to alleviate symptoms and improve the child’s quality of life.
•       Sleep Apnea: Our clinic evaluates and treats obstructive sleep apnea, a condition where the airway becomes blocked during sleep. Treatment options may include surgical procedures like tonsillectomy to improve sleep quality and overall health.
•       Laryngomalacia: We manage laryngomalacia, a condition where the tissue above the vocal cords is soft and floppy, causing noisy breathing. Treatment focuses on monitoring the condition and, if severe, surgical intervention to correct the airway obstruction.
