Has anyone had an ENT doctor use an endoscope in your child's nose or ears?

My daughter has been having some sinus and ear problems and I am debating whether to ask my daughter's ENT to use an endoscope in her ears and/or nose to look a little deeper.

Does anyone have a child that has had this done? If so, how old was the child and what was it like? Did it help? Any thoughts or experiences are appreciated.

TIA

wow.. i had to look that up..

Nope never done to AJ and she had tons of ear issues resulting in tubes (life savers) but never had that thing near her. It never even came up.

I did and it was torturous but quick.

Yes DS had the doctor use it up his nose, he has such a bad deviated septum that he couldn't get it past a certain point in his right nostril. It was horrible and he hated it and still talks about it every now and then but I am glad he had it done because it explained why he is always sniffling.

DS was a month old when I had to bring him to see an ENT.

Thank goodness my friend was with me to help. She held his head completely stll, while I held DS in my arms and the Dr. did his thing. It was the longest 3 minutes of my life and DS was not a happy camper either.
