Abstract

The current supplement presents and discusses the most common disorders encountered in daily medical activity. The COVID-19 dramatic pandemic requires an urgent solution. Promising non-pharmacological agents are discussed. Chronic diseases are frequent in childhood, so to know risk factors is useful in their management. Allergic rhinitis and chronic rhinosinusitis should be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs, but complementary compounds should be alternated to preserve health. Empty nose syndrome is a frequent complication of nasal surgery and requires adequate staging and hydrating procedure. Lastly, laryngopharyngeal reflux is an intriguing challenge for the clinician.
