Paediatric Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) information
Expert Paediatric ENT care
ENT issues can have a big impact on a child’s daily life, from recurring ear infections that affect hearing to enlarged tonsils that disturb sleep. Our team works with families to identify the cause of symptoms and provide safe and effective solutions that support a child’s growth, development and comfort.
Paediatric ENT services focus on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect children’s ears, noses and throats. These problems may cause difficulties with hearing, breathing, speech or sleep, but with the right treatment, many can be managed quickly and effectively.
Care may include simple observation and reassurance, medical treatment such as antibiotics or nasal sprays, or surgical procedures when needed. Our specialists will always explain the options and help families decide what’s best for their child.
It can sometimes be hard for children to describe what they’re feeling. That’s why early assessment is so important, particularly when symptoms keep coming back or interfere with daily life.
Our paediatric ENT specialists can investigate:
- Repeated ear infections or ongoing ear pain
- Hearing loss or concerns about speech development
- Loud snoring or disturbed sleep
- Persistent tonsillitis or sore throat
- Blocked nose, sinus problems or constant mouth breathing
- Noisy breathing or swallowing difficulties
- Unexplained lumps or swelling in the neck
Treatments are designed with children’s comfort and long-term wellbeing in mind. Our team offers medical therapies, minor procedures and surgery when required, all carried out in a safe environment with supportive aftercare.
Treatments may include:
- Grommet insertion for glue ear
- Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy
- Sinus surgery and treatment for nasal obstruction
- Surgery for paediatric sleep apnoea
- Procedures for head and neck conditions
- Hearing restoration surgery
