A pediatric otorhinolaryngologist (ENT) treats diseases of the ear, throat and nose, which are perhaps the most common in children, and the quality of their treatment largely determines the child's future health.
Prolonged difficulty in nasal breathing can lead to oxygen starvation of the brain, which means memory loss, loss of concentration, fatigue, etc. Prolonged colds can lead to rhinitis, acute respiratory viral infections, and complications such as
otitis media, sinusitis or tonsillitis, requiring mandatory treatment by a qualified pediatric ENT in the clinic. Thus, an ENT doctor for a child is one of the most important and sought-after specialists.

In the presence of one or more of these signs, you should not postpone a visit to the pediatric ENT department, since in the late stages of the development of certain diseases, treatment is carried out only through surgery. Parents of children under one year of age should be especially attentive, since many pathologies at this age do not have pronounced symptoms, and the child still cannot explain the reason for his crying. A good pediatric ENT will help you figure out what is bothering the child and prescribe the optimal treatment.
If your child has recurrent ear, throat, or nose diseases, you also need a pediatric ENT. In Moscow, the help of a qualified pediatric ENT 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 breathing through the nose, chronic cough, delayed speech development, hypertrophy and inflammation of lymphoid organs.
At the reception, a pediatric ENT specialist will collect an anamnesis and examine the child using safe, modern equipment that does not cause the baby any pain. If necessary, a pediatric ENT specialist can send you for additional consultation with specialists in related fields. In the case of a child's hospitalization, the children's ENT in the EMC monitors all changes in his condition and well-being from the moment of admission to discharge.
Emergency assistance
Emergency care is also included in the list of services offered by our children's clinic. ENT will help to remove foreign objects in case they enter the nasopharynx, ear canal, or eliminate the consequences of ear and nose injuries. You will also need the help of a good pediatric ENT if your child periodically experiences nosebleeds, which may be caused by damaged blood vessels.
Prevention
In the EMC clinic, children's ENT is engaged not only in the treatment, but also in the prevention of diseases of the ear, throat and nose. The pediatric ENT doctor regularly conducts routine checkups of the child, which helps diagnose many diseases at an early stage and cure them much faster.
Diagnostics
The extensive diagnostic capabilities of the ENT Department of the EMC Children's Clinic include pediatric audiography, otoacoustic emission, tympanometry, hearing aid selection, 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 the children's hospital of our ENT doctors are equipped with all the necessary equipment to perform:
- endoscopic examinations (possible with general anesthesia);
audiological research, including multilingual audiometry.
In our children's polyclinic, ENT conducts 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 hearing research methods for both the first stage of screening (registration of otoacoustic emission and tympanometry) and the second (diagnostic) stage (registration of auditory evoked potentials, full impedance measurement and gaming audiometry) makes it possible to detect signs of hearing loss at an early age. The department is attended by a specialized pediatric sign language therapist who is engaged in the diagnosis and correction of hearing disorders in children from an early age.
In our children's hospital, ENT surgeons perform such operations as: eardrum bypass surgery, tympanoplasty, plastic surgery for congenital anomalies of the ear canal, auricle, cysts and fistulas of the ear and neck, endoscopic operations on the nasal septum, concha, paranasal sinuses, sinus-ballonoplasty of the paranasal sinuses, operations on the tongue, thyroid gland, salivary glands.
Every pediatric ENT has at its disposal devices and drugs that can reduce the risk and pain during surgery. Surgical procedures in the pediatric ENT department of our clinic are performed at the highest level using the latest technologies and always under general anesthesia. Most of the operations are performed by a pediatric ENT using the endoscopic method with minimal injuries for a small patient, which also significantly reduces the rehabilitation period after surgery and the time spent by the child in the clinic.
As part of the interdisciplinary approach practiced at the clinic, pediatric otorhinolaryngologists work closely with pediatricians,
neurologists, sign language specialists (
audiologists) and
speech therapists, which allows you to create an optimal individual treatment plan. The clear and prompt cooperation of specialists who have been educated at the best Russian universities and trained in clinics in the USA and Western Europe allows them to treat young patients in the shortest possible time.
