An otolaryngologist treats the following problems in children:

• Inflammatory diseases of the nasal mucosa (allergic and non-allergic rhinitis).
• Inflammation of the paranasal sinuses (frontal sinusitis, sinusitis, sinusitis).
• Acute and chronic tonsillitis (tonsillitis) - inflammation of the tonsils included in the Pirogov pharyngeal ring.
• Pharyngitis is an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the pharynx and the surrounding lymphoid tissue.
• Benign formations (polyps, cysts in the nose and sinuses).
• Congenital and acquired anomalies (choanal atresia, deviated nasal septum).
• Otitis of various etiologies.

In addition, an examination by a pediatric ENT doctor is required in the presence of foreign bodies in the nose, nasopharynx, ears, as well as in cases where it is necessary to remove wax plugs, rinse the tonsils, or perform an ear toilet.

Pediatric ENT

Pediatric ENT(otolaryngologist) is a specialist in diseases of the ear, nose and throat in children.

When is a pediatric ENT needed?

In the first year of life, an ENT doctor must examine the baby twice to make sure there are no pathologies of the ENT organs.

Young children are susceptible to viral and bacterial infections. Their immunity is still developing. It is important to prevent your child from becoming part of a group of frequently ill children.

The prevalence of ENT diseases leads to the fact that adults do not always react in time to the appearance of signs of the disease. How often do parents have to send children who are still sniffling and coughing to school to avoid a fatal lag behind the curriculum. But a disease that is not completely defeated results in decreased attention, high fatigue, and dangerous complications are possible. Therefore, it is very important to receive timely, high-quality consultation from a competent ENT doctor.

You will need a consultation with a pediatric ENT specialist if your child has:

difficulty in nasal breathing;

deterioration or loss of smell;

pain or sensation of pressure in the bridge of the nose or forehead;

nasal discharge;

discharge from the ear;

earache;

a sore throat.

Appointment with a pediatric ENT specialist

At the appointment, the doctor will examine the child’s ENT organs, establish a diagnosis, carry out the necessary treatment procedures, and prescribe a course of treatment. To make a diagnosis, additional studies may be required: a blood test, culture for microflora (for this, during the examination, the doctor will take the necessary biological material), radiography and other instrumental studies. An alternative to radiography when examining children over the age of 3 years can be ultrasound. Using the Sinuscan ultrasound diagnostic device, the doctor can examine the condition of the child’s nasal sinuses right during the appointment.

As a rule, a preliminary diagnosis is established on the basis of an endoscopic examination of the ENT organs, and laboratory diagnostics are used for clarification (for example, to determine the pathogen).

If necessary, right at the appointment, such manipulations and procedures are performed as removing wax plugs from the ear, washing the lacunae of the tonsils, rinsing the nose, pneumomassage of the eardrum and others. In most cases, the therapeutic effect is achieved during a course of treatment, so you will need to come back for the procedures several more times.

A pediatric otorhinolaryngologist (ENT) treats diseases of the ear, nose and throat, which are perhaps the most common in children, and the quality of their treatment largely determines the child’s future health.

Prolonged difficult nasal breathing can lead to oxygen starvation of the brain, which means memory deterioration, loss of concentration, fatigue, etc. Prolonged colds lead to rhinitis, acute respiratory viral infections, which are dangerous due to complications such as sinusitis or tonsillitis, which require mandatory treatment from a qualified pediatric ENT specialist in the clinic. Thus, an ENT doctor for a child is one of the most important and sought-after specialists.

The work of a pediatric ENT doctor differs significantly from the work of a similar specialist treating adults. A good pediatric ENT specialist must take into account the characteristics of the child’s body, and also be able to find the right approach to the child. This need is especially acute when surgical intervention is necessary. A qualified pediatric otolaryngologist must take into account all the features of the physiology and anatomy of a small patient, and also, together with an anesthesiologist, select the optimal anesthesia option.

When to see a doctor?

Your child needs to consult a good pediatric ENT doctor if you notice the following symptoms:

loud crying;

discharge from the ears, nose;

the child's heavy breathing during sleep;

lack of response to sounds;

difficulty breathing through the nose;

If you have one or more of the listed signs, you should not postpone a visit to the children's ENT department, since in the later stages of the development of some diseases, treatment is carried out only with the help of surgery. Parents of children under one year old need to be especially attentive, since many pathologies at this age do not have pronounced symptoms, and the child cannot yet explain the reason for his crying. A good pediatric ENT specialist will help you figure out what is bothering the child and prescribe the optimal treatment.

If your child has recurrent (recurring) ear, nose or throat problems, you will also need a pediatric ENT. In Moscow, the assistance of a qualified pediatric ENT specialist is provided for a fee by the children's clinic of the European Medical Center. In our children's hospital, an ENT doctor will conduct a comprehensive examination and select an individual treatment plan.

The children's ENT department of the EMC Children's Clinic is ready to provide professional assistance to children with difficulty in nasal breathing, chronic cough, delayed speech development, hypertrophy and inflammation of the lymphoid organs.

Pediatric ENT specialists treat diseases such as:

Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology at EMC

At the appointment, the pediatric ENT specialist will take a medical history and examine the child using safe, modern equipment that will not cause the baby any pain. If necessary, a pediatric ENT specialist can refer you for additional consultation with specialists in related fields. If a child is hospitalized, the pediatric ENT specialist at EMC monitors all changes in his condition and well-being from the moment of admission to discharge.

Surgery

The pediatric ENT specialist at our clinic performs scheduled operations to treat and remove tonsils, cysts, and also rinses the ears (if there are wax plugs or purulent discharge from the ear canal).

Emergency help

Emergency care is also included in the list of services offered by our children's clinic. An ENT specialist will help remove foreign objects if they get into the nasopharynx, ear canal, or eliminate the consequences of injuries to the ear and nose. A good pediatric ENT specialist will also be needed if your child has occasional nosebleeds, which may be caused by damaged blood vessels.

Prevention

At the EMC clinic, pediatric ENT specialists not only treat, but also prevent diseases of the ear, nose and throat. A pediatric ENT doctor regularly conducts routine examinations of the child, which helps diagnose many diseases in the early stages and cure them much faster.

Diagnostics

The wide diagnostic capabilities of the ENT department of the EMC Children's Clinic include pediatric audiography, otoacoustic emissions, tympanometry, selection of hearing aids, video endoscopy of the nose and larynx, stroboscopy of the larynx, examination of the ear with a microscope, CT, MRI, as well as laboratory diagnostics of microflora, allergic and immune status and other tests.

The offices of our ENT doctors at the children's hospital are equipped with all the necessary equipment to carry out:

endoscopic examinations (possible with general anesthesia);

audiological studies, including multilingual audiometry.

In our children's clinic, ENT specialists conduct audiological screening of young children, which is mandatory in Western countries, but is rarely used in Russia. A set of objective, reliable and absolutely safe methods of hearing examination both for the first stage of screening (registration of otoacoustic emissions and tympanometry) and for the second (diagnostic) stage (registration of auditory evoked potentials, full impedance measurements and play audiometry) makes it possible to identify signs at an early age hearing loss. The department is staffed by a specialized pediatric audiologist who diagnoses and corrects hearing disorders in children from a very early age.

In our children's hospital, ENT surgeons perform such operations as: eardrum bypass, tympanoplasty, plastic surgery for congenital anomalies of the auditory canals, auricle, cysts and fistulas of the ear and neck, endoscopic operations on the nasal septum, conchae, paranasal sinuses, sinus -ballonoplasty of the paranasal sinuses, operations on the tongue, thyroid gland, salivary glands.

Each pediatric ENT specialist has at its disposal devices and medications that can reduce the risk and pain during operations. Surgical interventions in the pediatric ENT department of our clinic are performed at the highest level using the latest technologies and always under general anesthesia. Most pediatric ENT operations are performed using the endoscopic method with minimal trauma to the small patient, which also significantly reduces the rehabilitation period after surgery and the time the child spends in the clinic.

As part of the interdisciplinary approach practiced in the clinic, in difficult cases, when establishing a diagnosis, pediatric otorhinolaryngologists work closely with audiologists () and, which makes it possible to draw up an optimal individual treatment plan. Clear and prompt interaction between specialists who were educated in the best Russian universities and trained in clinics in the USA and Western Europe makes it possible to cure young patients in the shortest possible time.
