Pediatric ENT care in Bangalore
Children get ENT problems often, and most settle with simple treatment. A few, such as persistent fluid in the ear or enlarged adenoids, need an ENT specialist so that hearing, sleep and speech are not affected.
Problems we see
Common reasons parents bring children to the clinic:
- Repeated ear infections and glue ear
- Enlarged adenoids, mouth breathing and snoring
- Recurrent tonsillitis
- Nosebleeds and blocked nose
- Speech delay with suspected hearing loss
- Foreign body in the ear or nose
Surgery only when needed
Adenoid and tonsil surgery, and grommet insertion for persistent ear fluid, are done when medical treatment has not worked or when the problem affects sleep or hearing. Coblation techniques reduce bleeding and pain.
Frequently asked questions
When does a child need tonsil surgery?
Usually after repeated infections despite treatment, or when large tonsils disturb breathing during sleep.
Why does my child breathe through the mouth?
Blocked nose from allergy or enlarged adenoids is the common cause. It is worth checking, as it can affect sleep and facial growth.
