Causes of sinusitis in 2-year-old babies

Mothers know their baby's physical condition best. Since children cannot express their feelings correctly, parents still need to be careful. Although sinusitis seems to be a common disease, children still need to be treated as soon as possible when they develop this disease to avoid affecting their future life. Next, we will introduce in detail the causes of sinusitis in 2-year-old 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 content is about the causes of sinusitis in 2-year-old babies. There are many factors that cause babies to become ill, and a large part of it is caused by the external environment. Therefore, parents should create a good living environment for their children and pay more attention to their diet. If they persist for a long time, sinusitis will be relieved.
