German term

Tf/Rari reizlos

German to English Medical Medical (general) ENT, pediatrics
In a report from ENT physician for child who has cough, in section with general exam findings, "Tf/Rari reizlos".

I believe "Tf" is "Trommelfell", eardrums, but can't find anything on "Rari". It occurs in other report by same physician as "Rari/Tf reizlos".

Rachenring tonsillar ring

Looks like an abbreviation to me.

"Rachenring" is a common term in ENT exams and therefore makes the most sense.

Below link mentions it as well, unfortunately it is not very organized:

Quote from link above: Rari = Rachenring = (Waldeyer's) tonsillar ring

I just finished another translation that has "Rachenring" in it. It is mentioned at the head examination as followed:

Kopf: Augen, Ohren, Nase und Lippen unauffaellig, Zunge normal, Gebiss gut, "Rachenring" geroetet.

In my opinion it makes perfect sense that "Trommelfell" and "Rachenring" are mentioned next to each other.
