Pediatric Otolaryngology
Consultation of children's ENT
A pediatric otolaryngologist is a doctor who diagnoses, treats, and prevents diseases of the ears, throat, nose, and paranasal sinuses.
In childhood, the ENT doctor is an indispensable specialist, one of the most important assistants to pediatricians in the treatment of diseases of the upper respiratory tract. Sore throat, nasal congestion, ear pain - children experience symptoms of ENT diseases more often than adults. This is due to the peculiarity of the immune system of pediatric patients, due to which they are particularly susceptible to viral and bacterial infections, as well as the anatomical features of the structure of the ENT organs.
