Ear, Nose & Throat
From the common to the complex, the Arkansas Children's ENT team is specially trained to treat the unique needs of kids. Make your child's appointment today.
At Arkansas Children's, our expert otolaryngologists are highly skilled at providing advanced care and treatment for many conditions of the ear, nose and throat. Your child's doctor will discuss treatment options with you and will work with you to develop the best care plan for your child.
Possible Treatments
Ear Tube Placement and Management
We surgically place ear tubes in children with repeated ear infections or hearing loss due to ear infections. We use precise technology to carefully locate the ear tubes so they improve fluid drainage from the ears and prevent infections. Pressure equalization tube placement is one of the most common procedures in children.

Management of Feeding and Swallowing Disorders
Our multidisciplinary otolaryngology team is highly skilled in treatments and therapies to correct and improve a child’s ability to feed and swallow.
Medical-surgical Management of Hearing Disorders
If your child has a hearing disorder, our ENT specialist can perform the most advanced surgeries to improve or correct abnormalities. This can improve hearing and your child's ability to form speech and acquire language.
Medical-surgical Management of Vascular Lesions
Vascular anomalies and hemangiomas can sometimes be difficult to treat, depending on the specific type of blood vessels involved and their location. We use the most advanced technologies to remove, repair and minimize these lesions to restore function and appearance.
Removal of Tonsils and Adenoids
When a child endures chronic cases of strep throat, tonsillitis and adenoiditis, removing the infected tissues (tonsillectomy) can help reduce infection and improve a child’s overall health.
Separate Airway and Hearing Disorders
If your child has airway or hearing disorders, our ENT specialists can perform the most advanced surgeries and other procedures to correct abnormalities. This can improve hearing and your child's ability to form speech and acquire language.
Sinus/Nasal Surgery
Sometimes sinus infections keep returning, despite the use of antibiotics (sinusitis). Often this is because of a narrow drainage system from the sinuses. Sinus or nasal surgery widens this pathway and removes blockages. This prevents fluid build up and allows for more efficient medicine delivery directly to sinus and nasal tissues.
