What to do if your child has sinusitis

The child has sinusitis, runny yellow nose, always feels sleepy and listless, very much like he has a cold. He also snores very loudly when he sleeps. Seeing children in pain makes adults feel uncomfortable. But the child is too young. What treatment will be most effective and have the least side effects for the child? At present, the treatment of sinusitis requires the use of hormones to be effective, and surgery is not suitable for children. Let's see what should be done when children have sinusitis;

1. The most important thing is care:

1. Pay strict attention to cold, heat; chill, sweat.

Cold is the factor that induces this disease. Cold can cause qi stagnation and blood stasis, inability of vital energy to defend against external pathogens, low disease resistance and immune dysfunction. Such as kicking off the quilt while sleeping, the air conditioner is too cold, inappropriate clothing, cold drinks, cold wind, this is self-evident. However, sweating means a more serious cold. Because when you sweat, your sweat pores open up like windows; sweat wets your clothes, and the heat is dissipated through evaporation and conduction, bringing cold air straight into your body. Therefore, it is extremely important to take care of the contradiction between cold and sweat. Dress appropriately, keeping warm and without sweating; change clothes promptly after sweating. Or put a small towel behind your back and change it in time. When sleeping, always pay attention to your baby's quilt to make sure it is not kicked away. Exchange the hard work of parents for the health of the baby.

2. Do not drink milk before going to bed.

Drinking milk before going to bed will cause gastric and esophageal reflux. The refluxed sour and rotten milk residue will irritate the pharynx and nasopharynx, causing irritating inflammation, and inducing this disease and upper respiratory tract inflammation. There is even residual milk in the nasal cavity, which aggravates the inflammation of the disease. Obviously, the current popular saying of "a glass of milk before bed" is misleading. It is best to drink milk at least 1-2 hours before going to bed. For breastfed babies, pat their backs after feeding and allow them to lie flat to sleep only after hearing belching.

Every ethnic group and different region has its own unique living habits that are formed over a long period of time and are suitable for the growth and development of babies. Although times are changing, these established traditional living and survival habits are unlikely to change in one or two generations. The same is true when giant pandas are transported to the United States and an environment consistent with that of their birthplace in Sichuan is created in order for them to survive. Isn’t butter bread more nutritious than hard bread? But, it won’t work without bamboo.

Therefore, do not make too many drastic changes in your care, diet, clothing, sleep, and living environment. Be careful when using chemical daily products such as cleaners, perfumes, and mosquito repellents. These are strong allergens. Avoid making too many sudden changes in care, diet, clothing, sleep, and living environment.

2. Exercise

1. Cold resistance training: Wash your face with cold water, adjusting the water temperature appropriately, step by step and in moderation. Increasing outdoor activities and breathing cold air while keeping warm can improve the respiratory tract's resistance to cold.

2. Exercise: Small babies can do passive gymnastics, and older babies can take more walks to exercise their joints and muscles, promote blood circulation, and enhance disease resistance.

Treatment

1. Gently massage (knead) the Yingxiang acupoints on both sides of the nose frequently. It has the effects of promoting blood circulation and opening the orifices.

2. Oral Chinese medicine:

Xinmeihua 10g Astragalus 10g Cimicifuga 6g Saposhnikovia 6g Shengdancao 10g

Babies with allergic rhinitis should not frequently use vasoactive drugs such as ephedrine in the nose as drops or sprays, as long-term use will increase blood vessel fragility and cause nosebleeds. Even harmful antibiotics are not needed.
