What are the folk remedies for treating sinusitis in children?

Children are the key protected objects in the family. They usually get special attention from their parents when they have headaches, colds and fevers. Frequent colds, wiping noses and picking noses may lead to sinusitis. When treating sinusitis in children, try not to use folk remedies. Sinusitis can be treated with some correct techniques in normal times.

The correct way to blow your nose;

Press one nostril with your fingers, and use the other nostril to gently blow out the mucus, and then use the same method to gently blow out the other nostril. You can also put toilet paper under the nostrils, lightly place your hands on both sides of the nose, and blow out the mucus with a little force. After blowing your nose, it is best to flush the toilet paper immediately into the toilet, otherwise it should be thrown into a sealed trash can to prevent bacteria from spreading in a poorly ventilated room, increasing the risk of catching a cold to others.

If the nasal congestion is severe, do not blow your nose forcefully to prevent the mucus from entering the Eustachian tube and causing acute otitis media. Some people suck the mucus into their mouths and then swallow it, which is even more wrong. On the one hand, it is impossible to distinguish the color and properties of the mucus, thus missing some disease signals, and it can also lead to gastrointestinal diseases.

Children's Sinus Massage

Massage the Yingxiang point. Use the middle finger or index finger of both hands to press the "Yingxiang" point (in the depression of the nasolabial groove next to the nose wing) several times. Because there are branches of the facial artery and vein and the infraorbital artery and vein at the "Yingxiang" acupoint, it is the anastomosis of the facial nerve and the infraorbital nerve. Massaging this point can help improve local blood circulation, prevent and treat nasal diseases, and also prevent and treat facial nerve paralysis.

When massaging the Yintang acupoint, use the tips of your thumb, little finger and middle finger to press the "Yintang" acupoint (between the eyebrows) 12 times. You can also use the middle fingers of both hands to massage the "Yintang" acupoint alternately on the left and right. This method can enhance the proliferation ability of nasal mucosal epithelial cells and stimulate olfactory cells to make the sense of smell more sensitive. It can also prevent colds and respiratory diseases.
