summary

Children's sinusitis is a common disease in otorhinolaryngology, which is characterized by nasal obstruction, runny nose, headache, etc. it is not easy to distinguish from the general upper respiratory tract infection. However, if the cold does not relieve after a week, and the yellow pus and runny nose continue, it is necessary to consider sinusitis. How is child sinusitis treated? Let's talk about it

How is child sinusitis treated?

It is suggested that antibiotics should be used as early as possible to control infection and antiallergic reactions. Nasal mucosa constrictor (biyanjing) and glucocorticoid were applied locally to facilitate ventilation and drainage of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. In addition, pay attention to rest and give nutritious, easy to digest food. If there are complications, they should be treated at the same time.

For the older children with chronic maxillary sinusitis, the puncture and irrigation of maxillary sinus can also be considered. After irrigation, antibiotic solution can be injected into the sinus cavity. Considering that most children with chronic maxillary sinusitis may be related to local immune deficiency, the mixture of 0.2% - 0.5% levamisole and antibiotics can also be injected into the sinus cavity. Children with sinusitis after appropriate treatment can mostly recover, generally do not take surgical treatment

Adenoid hypertrophy plays an important role in the pathogenesis of sinusitis. Because adenoid hypertrophy blocks the nostril, the nasal drainage is not smooth, and adenoid tissue can contain bacteria and viruses, it is also the focus of infection. Therefore, adenoidectomy should be performed first in children with adenoid hypertrophy and sinusitis, and it is often easier to treat sinusitis after operation[ 1]

matters needing attention

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. Usually can often do nose massage.
