The management of is still important in pediatrics. As autumn approaches and a new school year begins, children experience more stress and fatigue. In addition, the number of contacts increases, and children are infected with acute respiratory viral infections more often. Children with at least 8 episodes of acute respiratory infections in a year, frequent recurrences of chronic ENT and bronchopulmonary disorders are referred to as frequently ill children. Respiratory disorders account for 83% of the morbidity in frequently ill children. Normalization of vegetative regulation and stabilization of cell energy metabolism increase physical activity in children and improve immunological parameters. Individual characteristics of child’s organism (including various functional changes) should be considered since they are important for the development of complex treatment and rehabilitation progr am which includes metabolic correction therapy.
This paper discusses age structure of the morbidity, potential causes, pathogenic mechanisms, and course specifics. In addition, studies on the efficacy of energy therapy in frequently ill children, in particular, levocarnitine (Elcar®), are briefly reviewed.
Keywords: children, ARIs, frequently ill children, tonsillitis, levocarnitine, energy therapy.
