Seasonal Burden of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngologic Diseases: Comparative Patterns of Viral Infections, Acute Otitis Media, and Allergic Rhinitis
Keywords:

Seasonal diseases of the upper airway represent a major burden in pediatric otorhinolaryngology, with distinct patterns for viral infections, acute otitis media, and allergic rhinitis across the year. This narrative review compares the seasonality, age distribution, clinical manifestations, and preventive strategies of key pediatric ENT conditions, focusing on viral upper respiratory infections, acute otitis media, and seasonal allergic rhinitis., We synthesize recent epidemiological data from long-term surveillance cohorts and post‑COVID era studies to highlight shifts in classical winter peaks and the emerging importance of human contact patterns alongside climate in shaping viral seasonality. Understanding these dynamics can refine anticipatory guidance for families, optimize timing of vaccination and prophylaxis, and inform clinic resource allocation in pediatric ENT services.
