Experienced Paediatric ENT Doctor in Singapore
Young children and toddlers have an increased vulnerability to ENT issues because of the smaller airways and developing organs. This leaves them more open to infections and other conditions.Furthermore, the ear, nose and throat are critical to a child’s learning & development, with sleep, listening and pronunciation being some of the key priorities for many children during their formative years.

When Should You Bring Your Child
Spotting an ENT condition in a child is much harder than it is in an adult – simply because children may not be able to accurately express their symptoms as well as adults. These are some common symptoms that children display when they are suffering from ENT conditions:
- Unexplained fever
- Irritability
- Difference in behaviour
- Difficulty in learning
- Delayed speech development
- Frequent colds or runny nose
- Constant sniffling in the day
- Disturbed, restless sleep
- Speech or language delay
- Attention deficit
- Speech impediments
- Tugging at the ear
If your child is exhibiting any of the above behaviours, it is recommended that a consultation with a ENT specialist be scheduled for an in-depth investigation.
