How to take care of sinusitis in a four-year-old baby at home

Sinusitis in a four-year-old baby will make parents extremely worried. The treatment of this disease in the nose is complicated. If it is not treated properly, it will accompany the child for life. In fact, sinusitis can be cured in the early stage. It is necessary to observe its severity and conduct reasonable treatment after confirmation. In this process, children should be prevented from catching a cold, which will affect the recovery of sinusitis. At the same time, family care should be strengthened, which will be of great help to the treatment. So how to take care of sinusitis in a four-year-old baby at home?

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 work for their children and cooperate well with doctors, and make the sound of "open" 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: Nasal drops such as ephedrine are mostly bitter 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 medicine to remove any residual medicine in the throat.

Point 5: Ephedrine constricts blood vessels, temporarily relieving congestion and clearing the nasal cavity, but it also has a post-dilation effect. Soon the nasal congestion reappeared. In view of this side effect, ephedrine should not be used too often, and it is not suitable for young infants.

Point 6: The room should be ventilated and the humidity should be maintained appropriately.

Point 7: After the child recovers from the illness, do not let water enter the nasal cavity when swimming to prevent a recurrence of sinusitis.

How to care for a four-year-old baby's sinusitis at home? It is best to use home treatment when the child is sick. Too much medication for a child will stimulate the development of the body, and home treatment is important for effective care in life. As long as the correct method is used to care for the nose, sinusitis will not continue to become serious. However, children do not have good resistance and are prone to getting sick and catching colds. At this time, the nose will be irritated again, which will greatly hinder the patient's recovery from the illness.
