Speaking of sinusitis, everyone is not unfamiliar, some people think that only adults will suffer from sinusitis, in fact, it is not, children are the main people with sinusitis, because children have weak resistance, once infected by the virus, it is easy to induce inflammation. Sinusitis not only affects the health of the nasal cavity, but also induces headaches, fevers and other diseases.
Children's nasal cavity and nasal passage have a relatively narrow developmental state, and when stimulated by the outside world, the nasal endocrine increases, which will cause nasal obstruction, affect sinus drainage and cause sinusitis in children; Due to the poor immunity and low resistance of children, they are prone to upper respiratory tract infections, and often secondary to sinusitis in children; At the same time, children do not pay attention to nasal cleanliness and hygiene, which is also one of the reasons for the occurrence of sinusitis in children. There are many hazards in children suffering from sinusitis, and parents and friends must let their children receive treatment in time.
Harm of sinusitis in children
1. Children with sinusitis will have nasal congestion, purulent nasal discharge, or symptoms accompanied by fever and cough. Children may feel sleepy, tired, restless, unable to concentrate on their studies.
2. After the occurrence of sinusitis in children, there will be posterior nasal congestion and open mouth breathing, mucous nasal discharge gathered in the nasal cavity, sinuses, and even reflux to the pharynx, over time, it is easy to lead to maxillofacial development disorders, so that the upper jaw anterior teeth are not aligned, the lower lip is thick and the adenoids are hypertrophied.
3. The rich blood vessels between the sinuses and nearby tissues in children are closely related to each other, so after the occurrence of sinusitis in children, it is easy to cause osteomyelitis of the maxillary bone, meningitis, optic neuritis and so on.
How to tell if your child has sinusitis
Children with sinusitis may show the following symptoms:
First, often rub the nose, blow the nose, after the cold nose will turn yellow;
The second is that the child sleeps dishonestly, rolls around, grits his teeth and talks about dreams, and even snores and wets the bed.

Four chronic sinusitis, it can be manifested as dizziness, insomnia, memory loss, in our nose it can show nasal congestion, often occlusive nasal sounds, runny nose.
Fifth, we can also have ear symptoms such as ear stuffiness, earache, etc.
Six visual impairment is relatively rare, mainly vision loss and loss, it is mainly accumulated to the optic nerve, clinically fungal sphenoiditis is more common.
To include several aspects, the main first is conservative treatment, is drug treatment, and we adults are mainly nasal lavage, this local endosterol hormone treatment and mucosal drainage agent treatment, etc., if it is through our formal conservative treatment effect is not good, we can go to the ladder treatment.
The so-called ladder therapy consists of three steps, the first step just talked about drug treatment, and the second step is assisted surgery. Auxiliary surgery for the treatment of pediatric sinusitis, mainly a neighboring organ, including nasopharyngeal adenoids, oropharyngeal palatal tonsils are tonsils, often adenoiditis tonsillitis, which is also one of the main causes of our pediatric sinusitis, if it is not obvious after drug treatment, and it has become the cause of this situation, we can take ladder treatment, into the tonsil gland on the incision, after surgery in the regular drug treatment, there is a part of this pediatric sinusitis will get a good effect, If it is after the second step of tonsil adenoid resection, the sinus symptoms are still not controlled, and then there are obvious lesions in the nasal sinuses, like the obvious inflammation of nasal polyps, we can take surgical treatment, nasal sinus surgery These operations we call it obstructive small-scale surgery, try not to interfere too much with its sinuses, otherwise it may affect the development of the sinuses of the face and bone of the child, as well as the confidence of the face.
Of course, there are also pediatric sinusitis surgery as adults, and early adequate open treatment is recommended.
