The dangers of chronic sinusitis in children

When it comes to sinusitis, everyone is familiar with it. Some people think that only adults will suffer from sinusitis. In fact, children are the main group of patients with sinusitis. Because children have weak resistance, once they are infected by a virus, it is easy to induce inflammation. Sinusitis not only affects the health of the nasal cavity, but also induces headaches, fever and other diseases. Only after understanding the dangers of chronic sinusitis in children will parents treat the disease more seriously.

Chronic sinusitis can affect children's growth and learning

In fact, this is the same principle as "treating the foot for a headache". Headache is only caused by other diseases, not the root cause. Only by finding the root cause and treating it can the symptoms be improved. Similarly, if a child does not grow taller and has the above symptoms, the root cause is likely sinusitis.

Pediatricians say that sinusitis is very harmful to the body, especially chronic sinusitis, which can cause headaches, dizziness, brain swelling, insomnia, forgetfulness, memory loss, and irritability. Students' academic performance gradually declines, and they become sleepy, indifferent, and unable to concentrate.

Sinusitis itself can affect a child's heart and cause arrhythmia. An irregular heartbeat or a fast heart rate in a child can cause the child to become careless, active, and nosy. In addition, the child's growth hormone is mainly secreted at night. The child has chronic sinusitis and tosses and turns while sleeping, which affects the child's sleep. In addition, children's fast heart rate will cause difficulties in falling asleep, which will affect the secretion of growth hormone, so the child's height will grow slowly.

How to tell if your child has chronic sinusitis

Doctors point out that children with chronic sinusitis often have the following symptoms: first, they often rub their noses and blow their noses, and the snot will turn yellow after a cold; second, the children do not sleep well, rolling around, talking in their sleep, and even snoring and wetting the bed.

From the above introduction, it can be seen that chronic sinusitis in children is particularly harmful, not only affecting their learning, but also their health. Therefore, when parents find that their children have similar symptoms, they must give necessary treatment. They should pay attention to adding or removing clothes for their children and preventing and treating colds, because colds are also one of the causes of chronic sinusitis.
