Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT)
Hearing, breathing and swallowing well, at every age.
Our ENT unit treats conditions of the ear, nose, throat, head and neck in children and adults. Ear infections, tonsillitis, sinusitis, snoring, hearing loss and foreign bodies are among the most frequent reasons for consultation.
Children are a major part of our activity: recurrent ear infections and enlarged tonsils or adenoids can affect sleep, hearing, speech and school performance, and can often be treated simply. The unit has also hosted international ear surgery camps in partnership with a hospital in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Signs your child should see an ENT specialist
Consult us if your child snores loudly or stops breathing during sleep, breathes through the mouth, has frequent ear infections or sore throats, does not respond when called, or has speech delay. Hearing problems detected early can be treated before they affect learning.
Never put objects in the ear
Cotton buds, hairpins and other objects can push wax deeper and injure the eardrum. If a child has put something in their ear or nose, do not try to remove it yourself: come to the clinic or the emergency department.
