Experts point out: If the baby has a constant runny nose, parents should not worry. If the baby still has a stuffy nose and purulent discharge a week after recovering from a common cold, you should consider whether the baby has sinusitis and should go to the ENT department of the hospital for a check-up and diagnosis.

1. Parents can help their children with local hot compresses and nasal steam inhalation at home to improve the symptoms of sinusitis.

2. Children's sinusitis is generally treated conservatively with nasal drops or sprays and oral medications. During the treatment process, parents should never buy nasal drops and anti-inflammatory drugs for their children at the pharmacy. Because pharmacies usually sell adult-strength medicines that are not suitable for children.

3. For children with chronic sinusitis, maxillary sinus puncture can be performed and a catheter can be placed for 5 to 7 days to flush the sinus cavity. If there are other nasal diseases, such as deviated nasal septum, nasal polyps, etc., you should follow the doctor's advice and choose the appropriate time for surgical treatment.

Ways to prevent and treat sinusitis

1. Exercise, maintain a balanced diet, strengthen your physical fitness, improve your resistance, wear warm and appropriate clothing to reduce the occurrence of colds and other acute infectious diseases, and avoid swelling of the sinus mucosa that affects ventilation and drainage.

2. Do not insert foreign objects into the nasal cavity, correct the bad habit of picking your nose, and reduce nasal trauma.

3. Babies with special physical conditions, such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, etc., should try to avoid allergens and actively treat the primary disease.

4. Avoid swimming or diving in unclean water to prevent bacteria from entering your sinuses.

There are many reasons why babies have runny noses. It is recommended that parents must first clarify the cause of the child's disease when treating this disease, so that they can give the child symptomatic treatment in time. If it is just a cold, then there is no need to worry, but if it is a rhinitis disease, it must be treated in time.
