What is the cause of chronic sinusitis in babies?

As a mother, you know your baby's physical condition best. Since the baby is still relatively young and cannot express his or her feelings correctly, parents must learn to observe carefully in life. Sinusitis is a relatively common disease. When a baby develops this disease, it must be treated in time, otherwise it will have a certain impact on future life. So what is the cause of chronic sinusitis in babies?

1. Acute sinusitis

Acute sinusitis is mostly caused by upper respiratory tract infection, and bacterial and viral infections may occur simultaneously. Common bacterial flora include various pyogenic cocci such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, hemolytic Streptococcus and Staphylococcus, followed by Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis, the latter of which is common in children. Other pathogens include streptococci, anaerobic bacteria and Staphylococcus aureus. Those caused by dental diseases are mostly anaerobic infections, and the pus often has a foul odor. Fungi and allergies may also be causative factors.

Acute sinusitis infections often come from: sinus infection, nasal infection, adjacent tissue infection, blood infection, trauma infection, as well as systemic factors and toxic factors.

2. Chronic sinusitis

The transformation from acute sinusitis to chronic sinusitis is mostly due to improper treatment of acute sinusitis, or failure to treat it thoroughly, resulting in repeated attacks and prolonged illness. This is the primary cause of this disease.

Obstructive causes Obstructive diseases in the nasal cavity, such as nasal polyps, hypertrophy of the nasal concha, nasal stones, deviated nasal septum, nasal tumors, nasal packing, etc., which hinder the ventilation and drainage of the nasal cavity and sinuses, are the important causes of this disease.

The pathogens are highly virulent. Some highly virulent pathogens, such as beta-hemolytic streptococci in scarlet fever, can easily turn acute sinusitis into a chronic disease.

The above is some introduction to the causes of chronic sinusitis in babies. There are many reasons that cause babies to become ill. Generally, they are caused by external factors. Therefore, parents should let their babies grow up in a good environment and pay attention to nutritional matching in their daily diet. This is also helpful for the treatment of sinusitis.
