Question
A child has been experiencing chronic headaches for three years. An MRI shows a mild sinusitis. Is this normal?
Answer
Sinusitis can cause headaches, which is a common symptom. Rhinitis, or nasal inflammation, often comes with symptoms like nasal congestion, headaches, dizziness, and a decrease or loss of smell. Other symptoms may include loss of appetite, fatigue, decreased memory, and insomnia. It is recommended to perform nasal washing to clear nasal secretions and improve ventilation. If medication treatment is ineffective, further treatment may be required. Children are more susceptible to such symptoms due to their weaker immune systems. Parents should take their children to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner and pay attention to regular check-ups and reasonable medication under the guidance of a doctor.
