Otolaryngology (Ear, Nose and Throat)
Children have many problems with their ears, nose, throat, head and neck. In fact, more than 80 percent of children will experience an ear infection by age three. Depending on your child's situation, your child's doctor may refer him to an otolaryngologist for specialty care. Otolaryngology is the medical specialty that focuses on disorders of the ear, nose and throat.
ENT doctors may help treat your child with certain problems such as ear infections, hearing loss, breathing problems, or sinus problems. They may also be involved if your child needs ear tubes or tonsil surgery. They also see patients with tumors and congenital masses of the head and neck.
In 2008, Children's performed more than 5,000 ear tube procedures at our four outpatient surgery locations. See if your ENT doctor is a member of our medical staff.
