Top 3 Pediatric ENT Specialists in Amman 2026

When do you need a pediatric ENT specialist?

Pediatric ENT care covers ear, nose and throat problems in children. A visit is worth booking if your child has:

• Ear pain, ear discharge or ear infections that keep coming back
• A blocked nose that does not clear, noisy breathing or regular snoring
• Possible hearing concerns, or a child who seems not to respond to sounds
• Sore throats or tonsil problems that recur
• Dizziness or balance complaints

The ClinicsJo topic description for this specialty also covers general child health: growth follow-up, vaccination schedules, and common illnesses such as colds, flu, diarrhoea and vomiting. Routine growth checks and vaccine schedules are normally managed by a general pediatrician. Persistent fever, growth delay or feeding difficulty, cough or shortness of breath, and a rash with fever all need a doctor's assessment. If the cause seems to sit in the ear, nose or throat, a pediatric ENT can help. Otherwise, a pediatrician is the right first call. Infants also need regular check-ups, often about every two months in the first year, which a pediatrician usually provides.

Urgent warning signs

Call 911 straight away if your child has any of the following:

• Fast or difficult breathing, the chest pulling in, or noisy breathing at rest
• Blue, grey or pale lips
• Drooling with difficulty swallowing, or a muffled voice with high fever
• A stiff neck with fever, unusual drowsiness or floppiness

A fever in a baby under three months old needs urgent medical review. Sudden hearing loss or severe ear pain with high fever should be seen by a doctor the same day. Do not wait for a routine appointment in these cases.

How to choose among the pediatric ENT specialists in Amman listed here

Three doctors are listed. Compare them on the points that matter for your child:

• Match the service to the problem. Dr. Majdi Abdul Kareem's services include adenoidectomy, eardrum repair, nasal obstruction treatment and paediatric ENT care. Dr. Ayman Jaber lists pediatric ENT consultation, tympanoplasty, coblation tonsillectomy and hearing impairment treatment in children. Dr. Rami Al Salman's services centre on nasal and sinus disease, smell and taste disorders and skull base surgery, with pediatric ENT among his listed subspecialties.
• Check the training shown. Dr. Majdi Abdul Kareem's profile lists an American paediatric ENT fellowship. Dr. Ayman Jaber's lists pediatric ENT fellowship training in New Zealand. Dr. Rami Al Salman's lists a Canadian fellowship.
• Look at practical fit. Compare clinic location, opening hours, languages and insurers.
• Ignore the order as a quality signal. The list is sorted by profile completeness, not skill or outcomes.

Ask each doctor how often they see children with your child's type of problem. That answer will tell you more than a list position.

What to expect at the first visit

Prepare a short timeline before you go. Note when the symptoms started, what makes them better or worse, any fever readings, and any medicines already given, with names and times. Do not change doses on your own; ask the doctor. Bring previous ENT reports, scans, laboratory results, the vaccination record if you have it, and any school or hearing-test notes.

Useful questions include:

• What is most likely causing these symptoms?
• Are tests or scans needed, and what do they involve?
• What treatment options exist, and what are the trade-offs?
• When should we come back, and which signs mean we should go to emergency?

Dr. Ayman Jaber's profile notes that consultation includes reviewing relevant investigations. Dr. Rami Al Salman's profile says the need for medication or surgery is assessed after reviewing the patient's condition and investigations. Expect that some decisions may follow a review rather than being made at the first visit.

Insurance, fees and booking

Published consultation fees are 15 JOD for Dr. Majdi Abdul Kareem and 30 JOD for Dr. Ayman Jaber. Confirm the amount for your visit and any follow-up before you travel. Dr. Majdi Abdul Kareem's profile lists twelve insurers, and Dr. Ayman Jaber's profile lists ten. Check your insurer's name against the list, then ask the clinic whether your plan covers this specific visit and any procedure being discussed.

Dr. Majdi Abdul Kareem's confirmed hours run from Saturday to Thursday, with Thursday ending at 13:30, and no Friday hours are listed. His profile also notes that consultations are arranged in advance, so plan ahead. Confirm hours for the other two doctors directly before travelling.

When you book, ask:

• Is my insurer accepted for this visit, and for any procedure?
• What is the fee for a first visit and for follow-up?
• Can my child be seen at this clinic for the problem I am describing?
