Child prevention

Children are at much higher risk of developing sinusitis than adults. First, upper respiratory tract infections are more frequent in children. According to statistics, preschool children have an average of 6-8 upper respiratory tract infections per year. Secondly, children are the main victims of passive smoking. Inhaling smoke irritates the nose and prevents nasal discharge, which can lead to sinus infections. Poor nasal breathing due to physiological reasons is also one of the important causes of sinusitis. Foreign objects in the nasal cavity, nasal polyps, nasal tumors, and gauze packing for too long after nosebleed can all block the sinus opening and affect its drainage. In addition, allergies, bacterial infections, air pollution, passive smoking, malnutrition, vitamin deficiency, endocrine disorders, weakened body resistance, excessive smoking and drinking are also factors that cannot be ignored. Below are several methods to prevent sinusitis. Parents should read them carefully because they are not only applicable to pediatric patients, but also to other types of patients.

2. Maintain the correct posture when swimming and try to keep your head above water.

3. If you have dental disease, you should seek timely treatment.
