At Chicago ENT we have the ability to perform a comprehensive evaluation and to develop an individualized treatment plan for our pediatric patients who are suffering from ear, nose, and throat problems.
Dr. Colman is an experienced, board-certified Pediatric Otolaryngologist who has practiced at Boston Children’s Hospital.
Hearing loss
Hearing is very important in the development of speech and language in children. For this reason, it is important to diagnose hearing loss early in a child and to determine whether it is treatable or if the child would benefit from amplification. Chicago ENT helps families identify hearing loss in their child and works to make sure the child has the appropriate hearing resources that they are eligible to receive.
Allergy and sinusitis
Some children experience frequent nasal itching, nasal congestion, and frequent runny nose because of allergies. Others have chronic sinusitis. Our office is able to diagnose allergies in children and prescribe the medication that will help them or offer surgical treatment when necessary.
Pediatric sleep apnea
Chicago ENT’s goal is to improve the quality of sleep in children. Enlarged tonsils and adenoids can lead to snoring and sleep apnea in children. However, other areas of airway obstruction may also be involved, and our job is to help families figure out why their child is snoring. We know that sleep disturbances can lead to fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and behavioral issues.
