Question
My sister has been crying and fussing every day. Her nose is uncomfortable, and she has sinusitis. My mom says it requires puncture treatment, which scared her. She wants to find some conservative methods that are not too painful and acceptable for the child. How can children’s sinusitis be treated effectively?
Answer
Sinusitis in children under 5 years old does not require puncture treatment. Children cannot cooperate, and puncture treatment is also not possible. Puncture for sinusitis refers to simple maxillary sinusitis. It is only considered when conservative treatment is ineffective and maxillary sinus puncture treatment is needed. For acute sinusitis, it is necessary to seek a consultation with an otolaryngologist as soon as possible and undergo standardized sensitive antibiotic therapy, both systemic and regional, under the guidance of a doctor.
