Otolaryngology check up
Terme di Sirmione has a Pediatric Department, a space designed for kids with cheerful and colorful environments: 40 latest-generation inhalation stations, new outpatient clinics, games room equipped with tables to draw. Specialists and technicians for instrumental controls (audiometry, impedance measurement, nasopharyngoscopy) guarantee a more complete clinical and diagnostic framework in the field of otorhinolaryngology. The main diseases are sinusitis, otitis, tonsillitis and pharyngitis-tonsillitis. The experience of those who habitually perform thermal treatments confirms a reduction in acute inflammatory episodes over time. Clinical studies promoted by the Ministry of Health and by the Foundation for Thermal Scientific Research have also shown a reduction of antibiotics, mucolytic drugs and the rate of hospitalization. The recent meta-analysis of the University of Cologne confirms a significant improvement in the mucus transport function obtained by inhaling sulphurous thermal water after three weeks of treatment, which continues in the three months following the first cycle of treatments.

Pediatric check up for snoring children or those who breathe with their mouth
The consequences of snoring in children are often underestimated. Early diagnosis of snoring in children should allow careful assessment of the contribution of alterations or pathologies affecting the nose or tonsils, or those caused by posture and overweight. The correction of these risk factors avoids consequences on the physical and cognitive development of children, on the quality of daily life, on attention and socialization. Pediatric check-up for snoring children or those who breathe with their mouth allows to quickly choose the most appropriate approach.

Ear disorders
Rinogena Thermal Center for Hypoacusis: clinical experience and innovation for 50 years. A cycle of thermal inhalation treatments with the insufflation or Politzer method can help even the youngest to cope with frequent acute episodes associated with colds. Children easily develop complications of colds; in particular, chronic otitis, capable of causing hearing loss (rhinogenous hypoacusis), must be addressed promptly. Precisely in terms of prevention, thermal treatments with sulphurous-salsobromoiodic waters offer a valid therapeutic aid: the presence of sulfur has a mucolytic action, making the secretions fluid and facilitating their elimination. It is natural, well tolerated, non-invasive and without side effects.
