Pediatric Otolaryngology Information
Description
Pediatric otolaryngology is the field of medicine primarily concerned with problems with the ear, nose and throat in infants, children, and adolescents. A pediatric otolaryngologist is a head and neck surgeon who diagnoses and provides comprehensive medical treatment in children for disorders of the ears, nose, sinuses, throat, respiratory system, and other head and neck systems. This surgeon also treats children’s disorders of the larynx (voicebox) and hearing.
Other areas of concern to the otolaryngologist are treatment of diseases, allergies and related disorders of the head. Otolaryngology is commonly called ENT, because it primarily deals with the ear, nose and throat.
