title: [Control of recurrent ENT infections in children].
abstract: 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.
