How to treat chronic sinusitis in children?

Diseases in children are the most difficult to treat. Nowadays, many children suffer from chronic sinusitis, which causes great harm to their bodies. If they are not treated in time, they will also cause other pediatric diseases, which will further harm their bodies. Now is the season when sinusitis is prevalent, so it is necessary to seek treatment as soon as possible. How to treat chronic sinusitis in children? Let's find out together.

In addition to general treatment, sinus replacement can also be considered, which is more effective for patients with ethmoid sinusitis and pansinusitis. It can also be supplemented with physical therapy. People with atopic constitution can be combined with anti-allergic therapy. For older children with chronic maxillary sinusitis, maxillary sinus puncture and irrigation 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, a mixture of 0.2%-0.5% levamisole and antibiotics can also be injected into the sinus cavity. Most children with sinusitis can recover after proper treatment, and surgical treatment is generally not required. Since nasal mucus is often thick, some medicines that can thin the mucus can be used, such as Sinlube and Honeysuckle Oil.

If symptoms do not improve satisfactorily after repeated treatments, or if nasal examination and sinus CT scan reveal nasal polyps in the nasal cavity that seriously affect nasal ventilation, sinus surgery may be considered. Some children have intraorbital or intracranial complications of sinusitis due to abnormal structures in the nasal cavity, which is also an indication for surgery. However, since the child is still in the growth and development period, the scope of the operation should not be too large, and the normal nasal structure should be preserved as much as possible to avoid affecting the maxillofacial development.

Since the causes of the disease and the symptoms of the disease are different, the treatment methods for the disease are also different. Symptomatic treatment will lead to better recovery. When the baby becomes ill, parents must not worry. The main thing is to take the child for examination and treatment. Do not use any remedies or folk remedies to treat the disease.
