Look at the appointment books of any paediatrician serving a community like Electronic City, and a significant proportion of the visits will involve the ear, nose, or throat. Ear infections in young children, enlarged tonsils causing repeated illness, snoring that disrupts a family's sleep, and a blocked nose that has been present for months are common complaints that feel routine but complex enough to require the right assessment before the right management can be offered.
At KIMS Cuddles at KIMS Hospitals, Electronic City, paediatric ENT Electronic City Bengaluru is provided by ENT surgeons experienced in the specific anatomy and clinical presentations of childhood ear, nose, and throat conditions, for families across Electronic City, Hosur Road, Neeladri Nagar, and South Bengaluru.
Ear Conditions
Recurrent acute otitis media
Repeated middle ear infections can cause pain, fever, and temporary hearing loss in young children. When infections occur frequently, they affect a child's quality of life, development, or hearing. A specialist review is important in such cases to determine whether surgical intervention offers a better outcome than ongoing medical management.
Otitis media with effusion (glue ear)
Hearing loss due to fluid in the middle ear can bring problems with speech development, language acquisition, and school performance. Although most cases resolve with time, persistent glue ear in children with hearing loss or delayed speech requires assessment for grommet insertion.
Grommet insertion
Small ventilation tubes placed in the eardrum under general anaesthesia to drain fluid and ventilate the middle ear. A common surgical procedure in childhood, and it is managed as day surgery. Most children can return to normal activity quickly.
Hearing assessment and hearing loss
Children with suspected hearing impairment (including those who have failed newborn hearing screening, children with speech delay and identified by school screening) are assessed in conjunction with our audiology team with appropriate management including hearing aids or cochlear implant evaluation where indicated.
Cholesteatoma
Middle ear can have an abnormal skin growth that requires surgical removal to prevent it from eroding surrounding structures.
Foreign bodies in the ear
Common in young children and requiring careful removal, often under sedation or general anaesthesia in younger patients.
Nose and Sinus Conditions
Adenoid hypertrophy
Nasal obstruction, mouth breathing, snoring, and contributing to recurrent ear infections due to enlarged adenoids. Adenoidectomy provides relief when medical management is insufficient. The adenoids are the main reason for symptoms.
Nasal foreign bodies
Extremely common in toddlers and young children, requiring prompt removal to prevent complications including infection and aspiration.
Allergic rhinitis
Sneezing, itching and chronic nasal congestion due to allergen sensitisation. Medically managed with nasal sprays and antihistamines and allergen identification and avoidance recommendations.
Recurrent sinusitis
It is medically managed in the first instance, with surgical consideration for children with symptoms that persist despite adequate treatment.
Epistaxis
Recurrent nosebleeds in children are common and usually benign but require assessment and, where appropriate, cauterisation of the responsible vessel when bleeding is frequent or heavy.
Throat and Airway Conditions
Tonsillitis and recurrent throat infections
The frequency, severity, and impact on school attendance and quality of life are all assessed when determining whether tonsillectomy is indicated. Our child ENT specialist Electronic City uses established clinical criteria to guide these decisions rather than applying a blanket approach.
Paediatric obstructive sleep apnoea
Enlarged tonsils and adenoids causing repeated airway obstruction during sleep, producing poor sleep quality, behavioural changes, learning difficulties, and in some children growth effects. Adenotonsillectomy is the primary treatment for most children with this condition.
Laryngomalacia
Newborns and infants, who suffer from floppy laryngeal tissue have noisy breathing that is typically positional. Most cases improve spontaneously, but surgical intervention becomes necessary in severe cases if it affects feeding or causes significant respiratory distress.
Tongue tie
This problem is assessed for its functional impact on feeding in infants and speech in older children, with frenotomy or frenuloplasty performed where indicated.
Foreign body ingestion
Swallowed objects lodged in the oesophagus or airway require urgent assessment and endoscopic removal.
