General information for patients at Sachi Hospital, Maninagar, Ahmedabad. It is not a diagnosis or a promise of a particular result. Reviewed by the Sachi Hospital medical team · September 2026.
Why people come in
- Ear pain or hearing dullness after colds
- Mouth breathing and snoring
- Repeated throat infections
- Nasal blockage that does not settle
Possible causes
Immature eustachian tubes, large adenoids and tonsils, and frequent viral infections explain most childhood ENT visits.
How this is assessed
Examination is kept as comfortable as possible. Parents stay with the child. Hearing or further tests are used when the story suggests fluid behind the eardrum or disturbed sleep.
Treatment options
- Medical treatment and review
- Adenoid or tonsil surgery only for repeated infection or significant blockage
- Ear care when fluid or infection affects hearing
Diagnosis and treatment depend on an individual consultation. A page cannot decide that you need a procedure.
When to seek urgent care
- Trouble breathing, or swelling around the eye with fever
- Nosebleed that does not stop with simple pressure
- Sudden hearing loss, or a severe ear injury
- A child who is struggling to breathe or is unusually drowsy
