Ear, nose, and throat (ENT) disorders are common among children. The reason behind this is that most regions of the ENT are underdeveloped. This means they are not mature enough to withstand harsh conditions. Such ENT conditions can also interfere with the organs' development process and normal functions.
However, pediatric ENT is a medical branch that can help with such ear, nose, and throat problems in children. It also aims at treating and restoring the standard functions through surgical and non-surgical treatment procedures.

Pediatric ENT is a medical branch that is also referred to as pediatric otolaryngology. It focuses on diagnosing, treating, preventing, and managing malfunctions and diseases that affect the head and neck regions. This mainly consists of the ear, nose, and throat, and associated glands.
