Pediatric ENT

 

Pediatric ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) issues encompass a range of conditions affecting children, often involving infections, structural problems, and hearing difficulties. Common ENT problems in children include otitis media (middle ear infections), tonsillitis, and sinusitis, which can lead to symptoms like ear pain, sore throat, and nasal congestion. Structural abnormalities such as cleft palate and deviated septum may require surgical intervention, while conditions like hearing loss necessitate early diagnosis and management to support speech and language development. Addressing these issues promptly is crucial for preventing complications and ensuring overall health and well-being in children.
