How Our Specialists Can Help Your Child
Reassuring Care for Common (and Complex) ENT Conditions
Our range of ENT services is inclusive, but not limited to, the following treatments:
Glue Ear
Glue ear occurs when the middle part of the ear canal fills with fluid, which can lead to temporary hearing loss. It is common in children and may resolve naturally within three months. However, if your child shows signs like speech delay or hearing difficulty, consult a specialist ENT. Early assessment is important to prevent further complications.
It is possible to suspect glue ears if your child has a speech delay or is asking for things to be repeated, putting the volume up on the TV, computer or mobile phone, or talking louder than normal. In addition to their hearing problems, they may also complain of pain or a buildup of pressure in their ears. Some children can also struggle with balance and sleeping.
Removal of Ear Wax - Microsuction
Microsuction is a safe method used to remove excess earwax in children experiencing blocked ears. It is most suitable for children who can sit still, as it uses a small suction probe to gently clear the wax. Though quick and usually painless, it can be noisy during the process. We use a high-precision operating microscope to ensure safe and thorough removal.
Microsuction is often only suitable for a child who’s able to remain still. While the small probe, similar to a miniature vacuum cleaner, provides a fast and painless solution, it can be quite noisy. Unlike other Microsuction Clinics, we use a state-of-the-art operating microscope (other clinics use loops).
Tongue-Tie
Tongue-tie, or ankyloglossia, is present from birth and occurs when the tongue is tightly anchored to the floor of the mouth. This condition can limit tongue movement and may interfere with feeding or speech. In many children, it causes no issues, but for some, intervention is needed. We assess and treat both anterior and posterior tongue-ties.
The frenulum in most children doesn’t cause any problems, but in some cases, it can, especially if it’s anterior (towards the tip of the tongue). A posterior tongue can also cause issues in extremely rare circumstances. For some, the natural development of the mouth causes the tongue-tie to resolve itself; however, children with tongue-tie can often struggle with breastfeeding and licking ice cream, in rarer examples. We can review and treat children with suspected tongue tie (Anterior and Posterior).
Tonsillitis and Enlarged Tonsils
Tonsillitis occurs when the tonsils or adenoids become inflamed and infected, leading to a sore throat and difficulty swallowing. Infected tonsils may have pus-filled spots and cause discomfort for several days. If symptoms persist for more than four days, seek medical advice. An ENT consultant can evaluate whether further treatment is needed.
Some children may also experience an inner ear infection and sleep Apnoea while they are infected. If your child’s tonsils present white, pus-filled spots and symptoms persist for 4 days, it is recommended to see a consultant.
Children with enlarged tonsils that are not causing additional problems will not require immediate treatment. In most cases, as your child grows and develops, their tonsils will become smaller. But if your child is struggling to sleep and snoring as a result of their enlarged tonsils, an ENT specialist could recommend a tonsillectomy or an adenotonsillectomy to address the problem.
Snoring
Snoring in children may be caused by enlarged tonsils or adenoids and can be more than just a noisy habit. It can be a sign of an underlying issue like sleep apnoea, which may affect sleep quality. If your child snores regularly, consult an ENT specialist for evaluation. Treatment can greatly improve sleep and overall well-being.
If your child is snoring, it may be a sign of enlarged tonsils and adenoids. Snoring can also be a result of your child suffering from sleep apnoea. If you are considering treatment for your child, book an appointment with an ENT consultant.
Sleep Apnoea
Sleep apnoea happens when your child’s breathing is partially or fully blocked during sleep. This may cause tiredness, mood changes, or even headaches in the morning. Other signs include restless sleep and behavioural difficulties. Fortunately, it is treatable with proper diagnosis and care.
Other signs of sleep apnoea in children include:
Snoring, gasping and snorting while sleeping
Heavy breathing
Restless nights
Unusual sleeping positions
Trouble with bedwetting
Sleeping during the day
Learning and behavioural problems
Sleepwalking
Night terrors
Fortunately, for the majority of children suffering from obstructive sleep Apnoea, it is treatable. Contact our paediatric ENT specialists today.
Recurring Ear Infection
Ear infections are common in children, especially those with underdeveloped immune systems. When infections recur frequently, they can lead to hearing issues or speech delays. Chronic infections may also lead to glue ear. If your child is frequently unwell with ear infections, an ENT assessment is recommended.
Ear infections can be extremely common in children, and some children become prone to recurring ear infections. The most common cause of infection is a build-up of infected fluid behind the eardrum. Left untreated and ear infections can be especially dangerous, causing long-term hearing loss. As your child is still developing their immune system, they are less equipped to fight off infections and, consequently, are more likely to suffer from an ear infection. They can also develop glue ear as a result of ear infections, which, in turn, can lead to speech delay.
If your child suffers from chronic recurring ear infections, there are medical and surgical treatments available to help reduce their chances of suffering from these infections. An example of this treatment is ventilation tubes/Grommets.
Airway Problems
Breathing difficulties in children can result from issues like nasal blockage, allergies, or enlarged tonsils and adenoids. While some causes are minor, others may need further investigation. A paediatric ENT specialist can assess airway concerns to ensure your child breathes comfortably and safely.
If your child is struggling to breathe or experiencing a sudden blockage in their airways, call for an ambulance immediately. For non-emergency airway problems, seeking advice from an ENT specialist is advised. The following ENT issues can cause airway problems: a blocked nose, allergies, large tonsils and adenoids, the throat, the vocal cord (voice box) and the trachea (windpipe).

Paediatric ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) is a medical discipline that focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions that affect children's ears, noses, throats, and related structures of the head and neck. This includes common issues like ear infections, tonsillitis, hearing loss, speech delays, nasal obstruction, and sleep-disordered breathing. Our ENT specialists provide age-appropriate care tailored to children's unique anatomy and developmental needs.
Paediatric ENT consultants are those who specialise in investigating pain and discomfort around your child’s ears, nose and throat. More formally referred to as otorhinolaryngology, our specialists can help with a range of complaints from glue ear and tongue tie to sleep apnoea and snoring, to name a few. Unlike many other ENT surgeons, our specialist also works at an internationally renowned Tertiary care children's hospital within the NHS. This helps to ensure that you are getting the most up-to-date and highest quality care.
If your child has any pain or discomfort involving their ears, nose or throat, then a paediatric ENT specialist is best qualified to help. As children grow up, they are prone to innumerable infections and slight issues with their development, especially surrounding their tonsils and adenoids. Most of a child’s ENT complex is directly linked to their immune system, most acting as a barrier or filter to such infections.
Any issues that arise relating to the ears, nose or throat are best explored early. As your child is still developing, it is possible to implement treatment plans that allow your child to continue with their vital development. For example, any issues with your child’s ENT system could lead to problems with verbal fluency, hindering their communication skills. Left untreated and your child may struggle to catch up with these crucial years of development.
There are two stages to any ENT treatment: diagnosis and treatment. Your consultant must first be able to identify what, in particular, is causing your child difficulty. From here, they are able to create a bespoke treatment plan, taking into consideration your child’s medical history, that supports your child’s ongoing development. If your child requires medical intervention or surgery will be explained to you by the consultant, and any follow-up care can be arranged by Midland Health.
Please note that each treatment plan will be dependent on your child's individual assessment.
Recovery times will vary depending on the type of procedure your child is having. The majority of paediatric ENT treatments do require a general anaesthetic as they are surgical procedures.
In most cases, it is possible to return home the same day; however, in some circumstances, an overnight stay may be required. Your surgeon will advise you accordingly.
As an approximate guide, here is an idea of how long each ENT treatment’s recovery period is:
Tongue Tie Surgery/Frenulotomy: 1 day, most cases are performed in a clinic
Tonsillectomy: 5 days to 2 weeks, in most cases, this is a day case surgery
Adenoidectomy: 5 days, in most cases, this is a day case surgery
Grommet Insertion: 1 day
Tympanoplasty (Eardrum Repair): 8 weeks
As with any surgical procedure, paediatric ENT treatments do come with some risks. Your specialist consultant will talk you through all the options and risks during your child’s appointment. However, one of the biggest risks attributed to paediatric ENT treatments is a delay. Making the necessary arrangements to deal with your child’s ENT complaint sooner will benefit your child’s vital development in the long term. If you are concerned about your child’s ears, nose or throat, book an appointment with our paediatric ENT specialist today.
We have translators available for your appointment.
