Overview
Unlike adults, children may not able be able to express some of their symptoms accurately. Non-specific or indirect presentation of ENT conditions in children may include fever and irritability (may be due to an infection in the ENT region), behavioural disturbances (may be due to obstructive sleep apnoea), difficulty in learning or delayed speech development (may be due to hearing loss) and “frequent cold or flu” (may be due to nose allergy).
Common Reasons For ENT Problems in Children
- Immature immune system
- Immature Eustachian tube (tube that connects the back of the nose to the middle ear and allows the middle ear to “breathe”)
- Enlarged tonsils and adenoids
- Nose allergy or “sensitive nose”
