Treatments Offered

We provide comprehensive evaluation and child-friendly care for recurrent infections:

• Detailed ENT Examination: Assessment of ears, tonsils, adenoids, nasal allergies and infection patterns.

• Hearing Evaluation: Audiometry and tympanometry to check for fluid in the middle ear or hearing difficulties.

• Medical Treatment: Targeted antibiotics, antihistamines, nasal sprays or anti-inflammatory medicines based on the cause.

• Adenoid & Tonsil Assessment: Evaluation for enlarged adenoids/tonsils that may cause mouth breathing, snoring or recurrent infections.

• Grommet (Ear Tube) Insertion: Recommended when fluid persists in the ear leading to hearing loss or repeated ear infections.

• Tonsillectomy/Adenoidectomy: Considered if infections are frequent, severe or affecting breathing, sleep or growth.

When to Seek Evaluation

Parents should consult an ENT specialist if their child experiences:

• Frequent sore throats, fever, swollen tonsils or recurrent strep infections

• Repeated ear infections, ear pain or ear discharge

• Hearing difficulties, delayed speech or unclear speech

• Mouth breathing, snoring or restless sleep due to enlarged adenoids/tonsils

Common causes include viral and bacterial infections, allergies, enlarged adenoids, environmental exposure, low immunity and chronic fluid in the middle ear. Identifying the cause helps plan effective treatment and prevent long-term developmental impact.

Prevention & Long-term Care

Healthy habits and timely care can significantly reduce recurrence:

• Maintaining good hand hygiene and avoiding sharing utensils during infections

• Treating allergies early to reduce infection frequency

• Avoiding prolonged pacifier use or bottle-feeding while lying down

• Ensuring vaccinations (including flu vaccine) are up-to-date

• Follow-up reviews to monitor ear health, hearing and growth
