The impact of sinusitis on people's daily lives is relatively large. Because once the sinuses go wrong, they will affect the function of the lower respiratory tract such as the lungs and trachea, and also affect the surrounding tissues, such as the brain, eyes, etc. If the condition is serious, it will also cause complications that endanger people's life safety, and should be treated as soon as possible.
Sinusitis in children is due to the immune function of children, sinus function is not yet mature, and the younger the age, the greater the chance of developing sinusitis. Because the sinuses in children are not well developed, the passages that communicate with the nasal cavity are thin and long, and the passages are wide at the opening of the nasal cavity, so bacteria are easy to enter the sinuses and the mucous membranes in the children's sinuses are delicate, the resistance is poor, and inflammation is prone to occur after infection.
At the same time, because children's resistance is worse than that of adults, their adaptability to the external environment is poor, and they are prone to colds. If the child is already weak, it is likely to re-trigger sinusitis. In addition, childhood-specific infectious diseases such as measles, whooping cough, pneumonia, etc., are also easy to induce inflammation of the nasal cavity, resulting in sinusitis.
Harm of sinusitis in children

3. The nasal polyps of adolescents and children are closely related to each other with the colorful blood vessels in the surrounding tissues, so after the production of sinusitis in children, it is easy to cause maxillary osteomyelitis, meningitis, optic neuritis and so on.
Sinusitis in children has the possibility of self-healing, most of which cannot heal itself and needs timely treatment. With age, the improvement of immune function, allergies will gradually improve, children's body resistance will gradually improve, most children can grow up sinusitis can heal themselves.
