"The winter climate is cold, and under the stimulation of cold air, more children have recently suffered from sinusitis and chronic cough." Recently, Yu Xinliang, a pediatrician at Shaoxing Central Hospital, told reporters that sinusitis is treated for a long course, and many parents do not know the situation, and they have not been able to prescribe the right medicine, making sinusitis recurrent.
Recently, 3-year-old Yue Yue (pseudonym) has a runny nose and cough, and the recurrence is more than a month, and the condition is more serious under the stimulation of cold air. The family did not dare to give the child medicine indiscriminately, so they took the child to the pediatric department of Shaoxing Central Hospital for treatment.
After asking the parents about the symptoms of their children, Dr. Yu Xinliang judged that the more he got, the more he got sinusitis. He told parents that sinusitis should be treated aggressively, and more than 3 months will become chronic sinusitis. The treatment time of sinusitis is relatively long, and amoxicillin clavulanate potassium is generally preferred, and the dosage is relatively large, with a minimum time of half a month. However, some parents will stop the drug casually because of the long time of medication. In addition, it is best to let the child cooperate with the nose washing, and flush out the nasal cavity and the nasal discharge in the sinuses, and the effect of the two will be better.
If not treated aggressively, sleeping at night with a snot can block the nose, and the child is prone to breathe with his mouth, which will affect the normal development of the child's face, mouth and intelligence over time.
Yu Xinliang told reporters that children are prone to sinusitis, which is caused by the structure of the child's sinuses, the sinus cavity is relatively large, but the sinus opening is small, the secretions are difficult to go out inside, and long-term accumulation causes inflammation. In addition, children have low resistance, poor adaptability to the outside world, and are prone to upper respiratory tract infections and various acute infectious diseases, such as influenza, measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough, pneumonia, etc., which are easy to cause sinusitis. Tonsillitis in children, enlargement of the proliferation of the nostrils after blockage, affecting the physiological function of the nasal cavity and sinuses, and also easily cause sinusitis.
The cough caused by sinusitis is easily misdiagnosed as bronchitis, and short-term medication to do nebulization may have some effect, but once the drug is stopped, it is repeated or even aggravated.
For pediatric sinusitis and rhinitis, washing the nose is a good way to rinse the nose with salt water, rinse the dirty things out, and clean the sinuses. Although washing the nose is a bit uncomfortable, as long as you teach your child to master the method, it is still OK. Parents should also insist on giving their children medication until they are thoroughly treated.
