Pediatric Ear, Nose, and Throat Care
If your child has trouble hearing, speaking, or breathing, it has a huge impact on their daily life. Kids learn about the world around them through their five senses.
At Carilion Children's, our ENT team provides special care to children with ear, nose, and throat problems.
A pediatric ENT (otolaryngologist) treats the ears, nose, and throat in children. This specialty includes a wide range of conditions. They include chronic ear and sinus infections, balance issues, and throat cancer. If your child has facial injuries or can’t sleep because of enlarged adenoids, our ENT team can help.
Our ENT team offers compassionate, expert care for your child. When needed, we perform surgery using robotic and laser treatments. And we offer follow-up care with hearing and speech experts.
