Image
Does your child keep tugging at one ear? Snore louder than you'd expect for someone under four feet tall? Have a nose that's blocked more often than not? Most parents have asked themselves at some point whether this is "just a kid thing" or something worth getting checked. JTS Medical Centre in Jumeirah, Dubai has opened a dedicated Pediatric ENT Clinic to answer exactly that question. It's led by Dr. Zainab Arsiwala, a European board-certified ENT specialist who also holds a Saudi Board Fellowship in Pediatric ENT, with more than 14 years of experience treating children and adults alike.
