At Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), children with everyday illnesses and uncommon conditions of the ears, nose and throat are cared for in the Division of Otolaryngology — also known as Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT). We diagnose and treat everything from ear infections (otitis), sore throats, tonsillitis and sinus problems to more complex hearing and speech disorders, airway problems, lymphatic malformations and tumors of the head and neck. No matter the complexity of your child's condition, our goal is the same: your child’s quick return to a healthy childhood.

We practice family-centered care, educating and empowering families to make informed decisions about the most appropriate treatment for their child’s condition.

How we serve you

In addition to caring for everyday illnesses, we collaborate with several other specialists to bring advanced care to children with complex conditions.

Conditions we treat

We care for children with a wide range of illnesses, diseases and anomalies of the ear, nose, throat and neck.
