Condition
Children's ENT
Children have unique ear, nose and throat needs. Our paediatric ENT specialists see children of all ages for a range of conditions including obstructive sleep apnoea, recurrent ear infections, hearing loss, snoring, tonsillitis, and nasal obstruction. Obstructive sleep apnoea in children is first noticed by parents who observe their child stopping breathing whilst asleep, followed by a gasp as breathing resumes — regardless of severity, treatment is strongly recommended. Snoring in children every night is abnormal. Early review by an ENT specialist is recommended.
