Sinusitis - what is it? Treatment of sinusitis in children

Despite the popularity of this disease, many still do not know what sinusitis is. Hence, they never hurt them - and it pleases. And now seriously. This disease affects both adults and children. Sinusitis does not appear on its own. It provokes a cold or an allergy. What is this disease and how to treat sinusitis in children, we will tell in this article.

Sinusitis - what is it

In our society, it is customary not to pay any attention to the runny nose. Too insignificant is a problem - we think! But the hour is not even - and in the nasal sinuses complications can arise. These sinuses are called sinuses, hence the name of the disease. They are very close to the brain, and when inflamed, pus, which has arisen in one of the sinuses, can easily spread to the brain. This can lead to both disability and death. The causes of sine inflammation are viruses, bacteria and fungi. Sinusitis is acute and chronic. Acute has an infectious origin and is provoked by bacteria and viruses, and chronic occurs when the treatment of sinusitis was untimely or wrong.

Symptoms of sinusitis

The most common symptoms are:

• nasal congestion;
• In the sinuses and back of the throat, a mucus of green or yellow forms.

Of the general symptoms are:

• Painful sensations in the eyes, in the nose, accompanied by unpleasant sensations on the cheeks and forehead;
• Rarely, but still there is a smell from the mouth;
• Problems with smell;
• heat;
• Sore throat;
• Constant cough at night.

If you ignore the symptoms of this disease and do not start treating sinusitis on time, then you can "fly in" not like a child! For example, sinusitis of the sphenoid sinus easily provokes problems with vision, ear infections and meningitis, and this is very serious! Children's sinusitis

Sinusitis in children is quite common. The immune system of the child is not yet strong enough, and against the background of weakened immunity, bacteria can easily penetrate into the nasal sinuses. Very often this occurs in the form of complications after a common cold. Often, with children's sinusitis, there is a risk of spreading the infection in the middle ear, which causes some forms of otitis.

Symptoms of child sinusitis are significantly different from adults:

• Complaints of the child to the pain in different places of the head:
• In the throat, dryness may occur;
• The appetite is lowered, and the dream is disturbed;
• Significant temperature increase;
• Cough that intensifies at night.

No folk methods

Not everyone knows how to treat sinusitis in children. And they do it right - there is nothing to show self-activity. Contact your doctor who will give your child the treatment they need. From ourselves we add that the treatment usually includes antibacterial drugs, antihistamines, vasoconstrictors and physiotherapy. Pay special attention to the fact that the treatment of sinusitis in a child is not a place for alternative experiments of traditional medicine. Carrot or beet juice and all other phytotherapy should be better left to Gennady Petrovich Malakhov! And then you will dip your baby in a spout with a herbal infusion, but it turns out that not only did sinusitis not go away, but there was some allergy. Remember, with inflammation of the sinuses in children, treatment in any case should be controlled by a doctor. In general, watch closely the manifestation of any signs indicating an inflammation of the nasal sinuses, and, for God's sakes, do not engage in nonsense, in sense, self-medication!
