The prevalence of adenoid hypertrophy and allergic rhinitis data based on the study of the overall medical examination of children in 2002 and the further monitoring of children in Russia in 2005-2009 (population study) are presented. The main principles of therapy are specified. Special attention has been paid to the use of Vibrocil combination drug among children, which contains antihistamine component Dimethindene, and decongestant Phenylephrine.

Summary Introduction: Hyperplasia of the pharyngeal tonsil is one of the main causes of mouth breathing, and accurate diagnosis of this alteration is important for proper therapeutic planning. Therefore, studies have been conducted in order to provide information regarding the procedures that can be used for the diagnosis of pharyngeal obstruction. Objective: To verify the correlation between nasopharyngoscopy and cephalometric examinations in the diagnosis of pharyngeal tonsil hyperplasia. Method: This was a cross-sectional, clinical, experimental, and quantitative study. Fifty-five children took part in this study, 30 girls and 25 boys, aged between 7 and 11 years. The children underwent nasofibropharyngoscopic and cephalometric evaluation to determine the grade of nasopharyngeal obstruction. The Spearman's rank correlation coefficient at the 5% significance level was used to verify the correlation between these exams. Results: In the nasopharyngoscopy evaluation, most children showed grade 2 and 3 hyperplasia of the pharyngeal tonsil, which was followed by grade 1. In the cephalometry assessment, most children showed grade 1 hyperplasia of the pharyngeal tonsil, which was followed by grade 2. A statistically significant regular positive correlation was observed between the exams. Conclusion: It was concluded that the evaluation of the pharyngeal tonsil hyperplasia could be carried out by fiber optic nasopharyngoscopy and cephalometry, as these examinations were regularly correlated. However, it was found that cephalometry tended to underestimate the size of the pharyngeal tonsil relative to nasopharyngoscopy.

Nasal obstruction caused by adenoid hypertrophy can lead to malocclusion. The research material consisted of children aged 7-12 years with adenoid hypertrophy qualified for adenoidectomy. On the basis of the conducted tests (laryngological, orthodontic, pediatric), the occurrence of open frontal bite in children with pharyngeal tonsil hypertrophy, in particular in boys, was confirmed in comparison to children without hypertrophy correctly breathing through the nose.

Tonsil hypertrophy (TH) is very common in children. Previously, it has been reported that an inverse relationship exists between adenoid hypertrophy (AH) and allergic rhinitis (AR). This study aimed to investigate the possible relationship between tonsil volume and AR diagnosis in a group of children complaining of upper airways obstruction. Globally, 171 children (91 boys; mean age, 6.6 years) were studied. Clinical visit, nasal endoscopy, and skin-prick test were performed in all patients. TH and anterior nasal obstruction were graded using the Friedman's classifications. Adenoid volume was graded using the Parikh's classification. Fifty-eight children (33.9%) had relevant TH (grades 3–4); 77 children (44.94%) had AR. There was a strong correlation (gamma = 0.564; p < 0.001) between TH and AH. Tonsil volume was inversely associated with AR diagnosis (odds ratio [OR], 0.314). Risk factors for TH were intense mucosal inflammation (pale mucous membranes) and AH (OR, 3.54 and 2.856, respectively). This study shows that large tonsils are negatively associated with allergy, whereas intense inflammation is a risk factor for TH; AH may be frequently associated with TH.

The symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis can be alleviated by the use of an antihistamine and a decongestant. The efficacy and safety of the combination of azatadine maleate and pseudoephedrine sulfate were examined in this double-blind study comparing active drug to placebo. While 74% of the patients administered the combination drug showed marked improvement in the signs and symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis, only 29% of patients receiving placebo demonstrated improvement. Adverse reactions were mild and transient.

Abstract Background otitis media with effusion (OME) or glue ear is the collection of fluid behind the tympanic membrane without inflammatory signs present for 6 weeks. Aim of the Work comparing the effect of intra nasal versus systemic steroids in treatment of children with Otitis media with effusion as regard: Improvement of clinical symptoms and Audiological findings. Subjects and Methods this study is a prospective, case control study on the effects of intranasal versus systemic steroids on children with otitis media with effusion. This thesis study was conducted on 30 patients diagnosed according to clinical and audiological assessment recruited from otorhinolaryngology outpatient clinic Ain Shams university hospital from October 2017 to July 2018. An informed consent was obtained from each patient or control or their legal guardians before enrolment in the study. Results however, statistically there is no significant relation between the occurrence of complete resolution of OME and the route of administration of steroid (either intranasal or systemic), whatever the cause either allergic rhinitis or adenoid hypertrophy. So we can use either intranasal or systemic steroids in management of otitis media with effusion in children with either allergic rhinitis or adenoid hypertrophy or both. Conclusion both topical intranasal and oral steroids are effective adjunctive treatment for OME in children in the short term, without significant difference between the two methods, and thus oral steroid complications could be avoided using local steroid spray.
