Ear, nose and throat disorders represent a large portion of health care problems in children. Pediatricians or family practitioners usually treat these problems initially. However, when the problem is not resolved, becomes more severe, or is a complex condition with a recognized need for a specialist's attention, the patient is referred to an otolaryngologist (ENT physician).
Sinus problems occur frequently in children, however, symptoms and treatments can vary. Due to their young age, children may not have the same symptoms as adults. Symptoms often include behavioral changes as well as outward signs of respiratory illness symptoms.
