What should I bring to my child’s first paediatric ENT appointment?
Bring your referral letter, Medicare card, and any previous hearing tests, X-rays, or medical reports. It’s also helpful to have a list of your child’s symptoms, medications, and any allergies. If possible, bring notes about how long the problem has been happening (e.g. ear infections, snoring, or nosebleeds).
What should I expect at my child’s first ENT appointment?
At your first visit, the specialist will review your child’s symptoms, medical history, and any test results. They’ll gently examine the ears, nose, and throat. If needed, a hearing or breathing test may be done. You’ll then discuss the findings and next steps, such as treatment options or follow-up.
When should I see an ENT for my child’s ear infections or glue ear?
If ear infections keep coming back or your child has fluid behind the eardrum for over 3 months with hearing or speech delays, see a paediatric ENT. They may recommend grommets to drain fluid and improve hearing.
My child gets frequent nosebleeds or a blocked/runny nose — is that normal?
Occasional nosebleeds are common, but see a Paediatric ENT Specialist if they happen often or last more than 10 minutes. Constant nasal blockage or sinus issues might mean enlarged adenoids or allergies.
My child snores or pauses in breathing at night ?
This could be a case of sleep apnoea, often caused by enlarged tonsils or adenoids. A paediatric ENT specialist will assess your child’s airway and may recommend a sleep study to confirm how severe it is. Depending on the results, treatment such as adenotonsillectomy (removal of the tonsils and adenoids) may be advised. Addressing sleep apnoea early can greatly improve your child’s sleep quality, daytime energy, behaviour, growth, and learning.
