With the approach of the 2017-2018 academic year, not only the children, but also their families were filled with sweet excitement. Families with children of preschool and primary school age need to find out whether they have hidden diseases that may lead their children to failure in school. Ear Nose and Throat Specialist Op.Dr. stated that ear-nose-throat disorders are the most common diseases encountered by children. Deniz Yazıcı called on families to have their children undergo an ear-nose-throat examination before starting school. Stating that ear-nose-throat diseases in children cause learning disabilities, hearing loss and even speech disorders when not treated properly, Yazıcı said, "It may be an insidious disease that progresses slowly and silently in children. For this reason, it is necessary for children of preschool and primary school age to have an ear-nose-throat examination. Especially children of primary school age cannot express their problems clearly. This causes discomfort to go unnoticed. For example, a child who is thought to have attention deficit or learning disabilities may actually not be hearing well. "In later ages, children may have learning difficulties or even mental retardation due to diseases," he said. "An annual examination is a must." Pointing out that fluid accumulation in the back of the eardrum is one of the most common ear-nose-throat disorders, Op. Dr. Deniz Yazıcı stated that patients often do not even realize their illness because there are no other signs and symptoms such as pain and fever. Pointing out that the child's starting to turn up the volume too much while watching television, the need to call the child loudly when calling, or the decrease in school success even though the lessons are very good, may be clues about hearing loss caused by fluid accumulation in the ear, Yazıcı said that families should observe their children's movements and be sure to do so regularly once a year. He said they should have it examined. Pay attention to tonsils. Op.Dr. states that another problem in children is adenoid disorders. Deniz Yazıcı ''Untreated and unrecognized adenoids may cause sleep problems in the child. Sleep well in the child's success A fall may occur due to falling. In addition, tonsil disorders are very common in children, and some families do not want to have their tonsils removed, believing that the tonsils hold microbes. This is completely wrong information. Troublesome tonsils turn into a nest of germs in children and cause harm. Therefore, tonsils need to be removed. Removing tonsils does not have any negative effects on children's health. Tonsil surgery is the most commonly performed surgery in the world. "All families can easily have their children's problematic tonsils removed," he said.
