Hypertrophy of the nasopharyngeal and/or palatine tonsils is a common condition in children that reduces patients' quality of life. Surgical treatment is widely used in the Russian Federation and worldwide, but some patients experience a relapse of the disease. From 0.55% to 25.79% of children with a history of surgery undergo repeat adenotomy; in 0.1211.9% of patients, repeat tonsillotomy/tonsillectomy is performed. The reasons for the re-growth of lymphoid tissue in the pharynx in some patients remain unclear. It is difficult to estimate the recurrence rate due to the lack of definite clinical and diagnostic criteria for the concept of "recurrence" itself. Factors associated with a higher frequency of re-growth of lymphoid structures in the pharynx include some conditions (allergy, bronchial asthma, gastroesophageal reflux), the history aspects (tonsillitis, multiple courses of antibiotic therapy), and early age at the time of primary operation and adenotomy without visual monitoring. The issues discussed are relevant to E.N.T. specialists and pediatricians in predicting and reducing the risk of recurrence in children before primary surgery.

Numerous injuries (and their treatment) have been encountered since the very beginning of the development of human civilization and remain one of the most significant problems in our time, since the frequency of injuries in general (and of ENT organs in particular) does not tend to decrease either in children or adults. ENT injuries are in fourth place in terms of emergency appeal rates. The most common injury to the maxillofacial area is a fracture of the skeleton of the nose. The article presents data on the frequency of occurrence of this pathology and describes the features of the causes that caused it in different periods of childhood, presents an algorithm for managing patients. The role of homeopathic arnica-containing remedies (Arnigel®) in the conservative treatment of reactive post-traumatic events from the soft tissues of the external nose is shown.
