How to treat chronic sinusitis in children?

There are many nasal diseases, and sinusitis is a common one. The symptoms of sinusitis in the early stage are very similar to those of a cold. Runny nose, nasal congestion, headache, etc. are very common. Children are the main group of patients with sinusitis. If not treated in time, it will become chronic and the harm will be greater. Let's take a look at how to treat chronic sinusitis in children!

Point 1: The treatment of sinusitis is divided into two categories: systemic and local. Systemic treatment mainly uses antibiotics. Since sinusitis is mostly caused by bacteria, especially pyogenic bacteria, the use of antibiotics is very necessary and very effective. It is best given by intramuscular injection or intravenous drip. The effect is faster than oral administration. Pay attention to the reaction after taking the medicine.

Point 2: Local treatment mainly involves draining pus and applying local medication. The commonly used local drainage method is called negative pressure method, which must be done in the hospital. That is, a suction device is used to extract the air from the nasal cavity, creating a vacuum negative pressure, so that the pus in the nasal cavity can be drained out. It is a pity that this negative pressure introduces the drug to achieve the purpose of direct medication. This treatment is applied once a day for five days as a course of treatment. Usually, good results will be seen after several courses of treatment. Parents should do a good job in ideological education for their children and cooperate well with doctors, and make an 'open' sound during suction.

Point 3: Simple local treatment is to drop medicine into the nasal cavity, so that the medicine can directly contact the nasal mucosa. Thereby giving full play to the efficacy of the medicine and the operation is also simple.

Point 4: Most nasal drops such as ephedrine have a bitter taste and can easily flow to the back of the throat when dripped into the nose, causing the child to feel uncomfortable. Therefore, you should rinse your mouth with clean water after using the drops to remove any residual medicine in the throat.
