What should I pay attention to when my baby has sinusitis?

Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinus mucosa and a type of nasal disease. Its main symptoms are nasal congestion and headache. When sinusitis occurs, it must be taken seriously, otherwise it will easily cause other diseases, especially the eyes. In recent years, the incidence of sinusitis has been increasing, which has a very big impact on our lives. So what should we pay attention to when our baby has sinusitis?

1. Antibiotics

Purulent nasal discharge from patients can be collected for bacterial drug sensitivity testing to identify the pathogenic bacteria and select sensitive antibiotics. If the pathogenic bacteria cannot be identified, broad-spectrum antibiotics such as penicillin, cephalosporin and other drugs can be selected. Drug treatment for acute sinusitis should last at least 2-6 weeks and no longer than 8 weeks.

2. Anti-allergic and nasal topical adrenocortical hormone drugs

For cases of allergic sinusitis with obvious allergic causes, this type of drug, such as cetirizine, can be used. It only needs to be taken orally once a day, and the medication time and dosage must be as prescribed by the doctor. Local hormone drugs are relatively safe, but you must follow the doctor's orders and master the indications to avoid complications caused by abuse.

3/Mucosal stimulating drugs

This medicine has the function of thinning pus and promoting the movement of cilia in the nasal mucosa, which helps the mucosal clearance system, restores normal function, and promotes the discharge of pus.

4. Topical use of nasal drops with vasoconstrictive effect

Nasal ventilation and drainage can be improved by constricting the blood vessels in the nasal mucosa. 1% ephedrine saline nasal drops with a relatively mild constriction function are often used to make the pus in the sinus flow out more easily. Generally use it 2-3 times a day, spray 1-3 times in the affected nasal cavity each time. It is particularly emphasized here that this type of nasal drops should not be used for more than one week, otherwise it may cause drug-induced rhinitis.

The above is some introduction about what to pay attention to when your baby has sinusitis. When you find that your baby has sinusitis, you must go to a regular hospital for examination in time and receive treatment under the doctor's advice. At the same time, the baby's tolerance is very small, and it can also be treated through diet. The specific method should be judged based on the baby's actual situation.
