Pediatric Otolaryngologists -- The best care for children
Children are not just small adults. They cannot always say what is bothering
them. They cannot always answer medical questions, and are not always able
to be patient and cooperative during a medical examination. Pediatric
Otolaryngologists know how to examine and treat children in a way that makes
them relaxed and cooperative. In addition, Pediatric Otolaryngologists use
equipment specially designed for children. Most Pediatric Otolaryngologists’
offices are arranged and decorated with children in mind. This includes the
examination rooms and waiting rooms, which may have toys, videos, and
reading materials for children. This helps create a comfortable and
non-threatening environment for your child.
If your pediatrician suggests that your child see a specialist for a problem
with his ears, nose, or throat, a Pediatric Otolaryngologist has the widest
range of treatment options, the most extensive and comprehensive training,
and the greatest expertise in dealing with children and in treating
children’s ear, nose, and throat disorders.
What is a Pediatric Otolaryngologist?
If your child needs surgical or complex medical treatment for illnesses or
problems affecting the ear, nose, or throat, a Pediatric Otolaryngologist
has the experience and qualifications to treat your child. Many general
Otolaryngologists provide surgical care for children. However, in many areas
of the country, more specialized otolaryngology care is available for
children.
What types of treatments do Pediatric
Otolaryngologists provide?
Pediatric Otolaryngologists are primarily concerned with medical and
surgical treatment of ear, nose, and throat diseases in children. Pediatric
Otolaryngologists generally provide the following services:
- Diagnosis and treatment of ear, nose,
and throat disorders, and head and neck diseases
- Surgery of the head and neck,
including before- and after-surgery care
- Consultation with other doctors when
ear, nose, or throat diseases are detected
- Assistance in the identification of
communication disorders in children
