The ENT Center provides ear, nose, and throat care for children at its Stamford, Westport, and Southport offices in Fairfield County.

Call 203-353-0000 to ask which appointment is appropriate.

When might a child need an ENT evaluation?

An ear, nose, and throat (ENT) doctor evaluates concerns involving a child’s ears, nose, throat, and related hearing or breathing symptoms. A parent can ask the child’s pediatrician or call The ENT Center about an ENT evaluation when a concern keeps returning, does not improve as expected, or affects hearing, speech, swallowing, sleep, or everyday activities.

Questions to raise may include:

• Repeated ear infections or ongoing ear discomfort.
• Hearing concerns, or fluid in the middle ear that a clinician is monitoring.
• Speech or language concerns where hearing may be part of the evaluation.
• Repeated throat or tonsil problems, or difficulty swallowing.
• Ongoing nasal congestion, drainage, or sinus concerns.
• Regular snoring or noisy breathing during sleep.

These symptoms can have different causes. This list is not a diagnosis, and a clinician can help determine whether an ENT visit is appropriate.

What concerns can pediatric ENT care address?

The ENT Center’s published service information identifies pediatric care for ear, nose, and throat concerns. Depending on the child’s history and examination, families may ask about recurring ear infections, hearing concerns, tonsils and adenoids, snoring, nasal or sinus symptoms, and related allergy concerns. The appropriate evaluation and treatment depend on the individual child; the clinician should explain the options and any follow-up needed.

Where can families find pediatric ENT care?

The ENT Center offers pediatric ENT services at all three offices:

• Stamford office, at the Tully Center.
• Westport office at the Westport Center for Health.
• Southport office, in the Penfield Shopping Center.

Call 203-353-0000 to ask about scheduling and which location can meet the child’s needs. See all office details.

When should a parent seek urgent help?

This page is for routine information, not emergency assessment. If a child is struggling to breathe, has blue or gray lips or face, or cannot speak or make sounds because of breathing difficulty, seek emergency care now rather than waiting for a routine ENT appointment.
