In the final of four episodes focused on paediatric ear nose and throat (ENT) conditions, doctors Lisa and Sara are back with paediatric ENT consultant, Dr Simone Schaefer, to discuss nasal obstruction in children.
They talk through some typical case examples and how to approach and assess these patients. They also consider which patients ENT might want to see urgently, and the differentials for these presentations.
Finally, they discuss options for management in primary care and what ENT can do.
