What is ENT?

ENT stands for ear, nose, and throat doctor. ENT doctors specialise in these parts of the body. They can assist patients with methods, treatments and surgeries that are relevant to hearing, breathing and having restricted movement in your head/neck.

What can ENT do for my child?

If your child is struggling with ENT symptoms, they will receive expertise, ample support and key tactics to help them with their health issues. As ENT specialists, doctors at ENT4Kids can help with excessive snoring, issues with hearing, recurrent tonsillitis, neck/head issues, and many more.

What can I expect during my child’s first ENT appointment?

Your doctor will take a full history, undertake a gentle examination, and may use specialised tools to assess your child’s ears, nose, and throat. Treatment options will be discussed based on their findings. Expect to come away with more insight into your child’s health difficulties and ways to combat symptoms to give them a better quality of life. 

What conditions do you treat?

ENT encompasses a vast list of conditions, but the most common we treat are ear infections, throat problems, breathing difficulties, and sinus issues. We treat many conditions with the ear, nose and throat. This also includes tonsillar disease, vascular anomalies and paediatric neck lumps.

How can I request a referral?

Usually, your GP will refer your child to ENT4Kids. They will then send us your child’s medical history and any treatments and tests that they may have had. Once you have a referral, you can book and schedule a session with us.
