Sinusitis in children

I believe many people have heard of the disease called sinusitis in children? This disease is especially common in families with children. In recent years, with the development of the economy, many parents have gone out to work far away from their hometowns, resulting in their children not being able to receive timely treatment when they get sick. Sinusitis will gradually occur in children. So what are the specific symptoms of sinusitis in children? What issues should we pay attention to in life?

Sinusitis in children is a common disease in the otolaryngology department, and is often manifested by nasal congestion, purulent runny nose, headache, etc. It is not easy to distinguish from general upper respiratory tract infections. However, if the cold does not improve after a week and the yellow purulent runny nose continues, sinusitis should be considered. Because children do not know how to blow their noses, when there is a lot of mucus, it can flow from the back of the nasal cavity into the mouth and cause coughing. Since many children have concurrent diseases such as adenoids hypertrophy and are more susceptible to respiratory tract infections, sinusitis is prone to recurring. The frontal sinus and sphenoid sinus usually begin to develop after the age of 2-3 years, so they are affected later.
