Otolaryngology (ENT)

About the Consultation

Otolaryngology (ENT) is a medical specialty focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases of the ear, nose, and throat, as well as related structures of the head and neck. It includes both conservative treatment methods and surgical procedures, helping preserve the health of the hearing, respiratory, and vocal systems. In children, ENT specialists most commonly treat conditions such as otitis, enlarged adenoids, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, rhinitis, allergic conditions, hearing loss, and other disorders.

The main reasons to see a pediatric ENT specialist include:

• persistent nasal congestion or frequent runny noses;
• ear pain, hearing loss, or purulent discharge;
• regular snoring or difficulty breathing through the nose;
• recurrent throat infections (tonsillitis, pharyngitis, and sore throats);
• a pediatrician’s recommendation in cases of prolonged or recurrent illnesses.

How Does a Consultation at MIRUM Clinic Take Place?

The doctor carefully listens to the parents, takes a medical history, and examines the ears, throat, and nose using specialized instruments. If necessary, audiometry, endoscopy, or X-ray imaging may be recommended. After the examination, the doctor provides a diagnosis and recommendations for treatment, prevention, or further follow-up.
