The ostium of paranasal sinuses in children is relatively large, and the common cold is easy to invade the paranasal sinuses through the ostium. They are vulnerable to cold, upper respiratory tract infection and acute infectious diseases (such as measles, pertussis, scarlet fever and influenza).

Tonsillar enlargement or adenoid hypertrophy affect normal breathing. Congenital immune insufficiency or atopic constitution. Swimming or diving in unclean water. Foreign body in nasal cavity, nasal trauma and secondary infection are easy to occur.

matters needing attention

During the period of influenza, go out to wear masks, avoid public gatherings, try not to go to public places, do a good job in isolation of the patients, and disinfect the polluted indoor air with white vinegar fumigation. Pay attention to blowing your nose. If you have a stuffy nose and a lot of snot, you should press one side of the nostril and blow with a little force. After that, I blow it alternately. When the nasal mucus is too thick, wash the nose with saline to avoid damaging the nasal mucosa.
