Otolaryngologist (ENT)

Diagnosis of ENT pathologies

Anatomically, the ENT region includes:

• Nose - nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, nasopharynx;
• Ear - auricle, outer, middle and inner ear, eardrum;
• Larynx with all its departments;
• Throat (including tonsils).

Given such a variety of anatomical structures, most of which are practically not available for direct visualization, instrumental studies of diseases of ENT organs present certain difficulties. In this regard, in the diagnosis of ENT pathology, the analysis of complaints and the interpretation of the clinical picture (symptoms) of the disease are of great importance.

In pediatric practice, the analysis of a child’s complaints is sometimes very difficult, therefore, ENT requires great skill and experience in making the correct diagnosis. In situations where it is not possible to determine localization based on the clinical picture, instrumental diagnostics are performed.

In the clinic of pediatrics K + 31, children's ENT doctors work on modern equipment from world manufacturers, which allows you to establish an accurate diagnosis. Ultrasound, X-ray methods, CT, MRI have a high information content in the study of the pathology of ENT organs. General clinical tests are mandatory, sinus punctures can be performed to evacuate purulent contents, determining the sensitivity of microflora to antibiotics.

The K + 31 Pediatrics Clinic has high-quality endoscopic equipment, which allows not only to visualize hard-to-reach localizations under an increase, but also to perform minimally invasive medical interventions.

Treatment of ENT diseases

The treatment of ENT pathology in pediatric practice begins, first of all, with the establishment of confidential and friendly contact with the child. Only after this can one expect to achieve a positive effect from the prescribed therapy. The correct approach to a small patient, as well as to his parents, allows the ENT to fully comply with the necessary treatment regimen.

In the clinic of pediatrics K + 31, modern medicines are prescribed, strictly observing all indications and contraindications. Antibacterial drugs are used after determining the sensitivity of pathogenic microflora to them. When prescribing anti-inflammatory drugs, the age of the patient, the presence of concomitant pathology and other factors affecting the dosage of drugs in this group are mandatory.

ENT doctors of the K + 31 Pediatrics Clinic have advanced methods of minimally invasive medical procedures that allow:

• Evacuate purulent contents from the paranasal sinuses and ear cavity;
• To open abscesses and boils;
• Remove polyps;
• Remove foreign bodies;
• Correct anatomical defects.

All these interventions are performed under the control of endoscopic equipment and with analgesia. For operations on the external organs of the ENT region, a microsurgical technique is used.

The participation of an ENT doctor in the prevention of childhood diseases

Children otorhinolaryngologists in the pediatric clinic K + 31 are guided by the basic rule: timely and adequate treatment of acute ENT diseases is the prevention of the transition of the pathological process into a chronic form.

Prevention of acute conditions, as well as exacerbation of already existing chronic processes, implies the elimination of hypothermia, limitation of contact with sick children and the systematic strengthening of immunity through physical activity, proper nutrition, regulation of sleep and wakefulness, tempering, and vitamin therapy.

An important role in the prevention of ENT pathology is played by the timely detection and treatment of the first symptoms, as experienced pediatric ENT doctors of the K + 31 pediatric clinic will help. It is better to identify the disease at the initial stage, which will significantly enhance the effectiveness of treatment.
