Recurrent ENT infections are extremely frequent in children. Actually, early childhood is a period of adaptation to the environment, with low immunologic defences. The hypertrophy of the lymphoid tissue in the Waldeyer ring, which is normal in early childhood, gives a particular picture to these problems. The repercussions of such recurrent ENT infections on the status of the lower respiratory tract, on the stature and weight as on the general well-being of the child, and their potential complications, are sufficient reasons for eradicating them. The various therapeutical means to reach this goal, are described.
耳鼻喉科反复感染在儿童中极为常见。实际上，幼儿期是适应环境的时期，免疫防御能力较低。幼儿期咽淋巴环淋巴组织肥大是正常现象，这使得这些问题呈现出特殊的情况。此类耳鼻喉科反复感染对下呼吸道状况、儿童身高体重以及总体健康状况的影响，及其潜在并发症，都是根除这些感染的充分理由。文中描述了实现这一目标的各种治疗方法。
