Conditions We Treat

Adenoids and Tonsils in Children

Enlarged adenoids and tonsils are among the most common pediatric ENT conditions. They cause snoring, obstructive sleep apnea, recurrent throat infections, and mouth breathing in children. Adenotonsillectomy (removal of tonsils and adenoids) dramatically improves sleep quality, behavior, and school performance. We use the latest electrocautery and coblation techniques for precise, low-bleeding procedures, and most children are back to normal activity within a week.

Laryngomalacia in Children

Laryngomalacia is the most common cause of noisy breathing (stridor) in newborns and infants. It occurs when the soft tissue above the voice box collapses during inhalation. Most cases improve on their own by 18 months. However, severe cases causing feeding difficulties or oxygen desaturations require supraglottoplasty — a minimally invasive laser-assisted procedure to trim the floppy tissue. Our team identifies and manages all grades of laryngomalacia with exceptional outcomes.

Sinusitis in Children

Chronic sinusitis in children presents as persistent nasal congestion, discolored nasal discharge, facial pain, and recurrent respiratory infections. Medical management is always tried first. When surgery becomes necessary, we perform functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) using pediatric-sized instruments that preserve normal sinus tissue while restoring drainage. The procedure is minimally invasive and done under general anesthesia.

Foreign Body Removal in Children

Children frequently insert small objects into their nose or ears, and occasionally inhale them into the airway. Foreign bodies in the airway constitute a medical emergency. At Kshema Pediatrix, we have the equipment and expertise to safely remove foreign bodies from the nose, ear canal, and airway using endoscopic and bronchoscopic techniques under controlled conditions — preventing the complications of prolonged retention.

Pediatric Tracheostomy

Tracheostomy in children is required for children with prolonged ventilator dependence, severe airway obstruction, or neuromuscular conditions affecting swallowing and breathing. It is a procedure that demands specialized pediatric expertise for both surgical placement and long-term tube management. Our team provides complete tracheostomy care including family training, follow-up airway assessments, and decannulation planning when appropriate.

Cochlear Implant in Children

For children with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss, cochlear implantation transforms their ability to hear and develop spoken language. The ideal age for cochlear implantation is 12 months, and as early as 6 months in some cases. Our cochlear implant program encompasses pre-implant audiological evaluation, surgery by our Pediatric ENT Surgeon, and a comprehensive post-implant speech rehabilitation program with our therapists.

Symptoms Parents Should Not Ignore

• Persistent snoring or pauses in breathing during sleep (sleep apnea)
• Mouth breathing as the default breathing pattern in a child
• More than six throat infections or three ear infections per year
• Noisy breathing from birth, especially worse during feeding
• Sudden choking episode followed by persistent cough — possible airway foreign body
• No response to sound in an infant, or speech delay in a toddler
• Persistent nasal discharge lasting more than 12 weeks despite treatment
• Ear discharge, pain, or hearing loss in any age child

Advanced Diagnostic and Treatment Options

Our ENT evaluation begins with detailed otoscopy, nasal endoscopy, and flexible laryngoscopy (performed in clinic for most children with minimal discomfort). Hearing is assessed with age-appropriate audiological tests including behavioral audiometry, otoacoustic emissions (OAE), and auditory brainstem response (ABR). Treatment options include:

• Adenotonsillectomy using coblation or electrocautery technique
• Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) for chronic sinusitis
• Myringotomy and grommet insertion for chronic otitis media with effusion
• Supraglottoplasty for severe laryngomalacia
• Rigid bronchoscopy and esophagoscopy for airway and esophageal foreign bodies
• Cochlear implantation for profound hearing loss
• Tympanoplasty and mastoidectomy for ear disease
• Microlaryngoscopy for vocal cord lesions

Benefits of Early ENT Treatment in Children

• Improved sleep quality and behavior in children with sleep-disordered breathing
• Better academic performance after resolution of hearing loss or snoring
• Prevention of speech and language delay from unaddressed hearing impairment
• Reduced recurrent antibiotic use for ear and throat infections
• Early cochlear implantation during critical language development years maximizes speech outcomes
• Prevention of permanent hearing damage from untreated middle ear disease

When to See Our Panel of Pediatric Doctors?

ENT conditions in children often have connections beyond the ear, nose, and throat. At Kshema Pediatrix, our Pediatric ENT Surgeon works in close collaboration with the broader specialist team. Children with speech delay from hearing loss are assessed jointly with our Developmental Pediatrician and Pediatric Neurologist to determine if there are contributing neurological factors.

Children with obstructive sleep apnea and obesity are co-managed with our Pediatric Pulmonologist. Complex airway conditions like subglottic stenosis or tracheal problems may require involvement of our Pediatric Thoracic Surgeon. Children undergoing cochlear implantation receive audiological follow-up and speech therapy coordination. Children with sinusitis and immunodeficiency are evaluated by our Pediatric Hematologist and specialists trained in immune workup.

Children with ear anomalies including microtia (small or absent outer ear) requiring reconstruction are managed jointly by our Pediatric ENT Surgeon and Pediatric Plastic Surgeon. Genetic syndromes associated with hearing loss — such as CHARGE syndrome or Treacher Collins — are evaluated by our Pediatric Geneticist for comprehensive family counseling.
