Question

A child frequently sucks their nose and has a whistling sound in the nasal cavity, although there is no obvious discharge. However, a CT scan of the nasal sinuses shows that the mucous membrane is thickened in the maxillary sinuses, suggesting symptoms of sinusitis. How should it be handled?

Answer

Based on the child’s sinus CT report, the diagnosis is sinusitis, which is why there is a whistling sound similar to mucus in the nasal cavity. The child does not have a runny nose, which may be due to mucus flowing back into the mouth. It is recommended to use physiological saline to clean the nasal cavity, take Nasal Relief Sinus Granules and Ambroxol Hydrochloride Oral Solution by mouth, and pay attention to staying warm in daily life to prevent colds. These suggestions are for the problem of “thickened mucous membrane in the maxillary sinuses without discharge” and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health.
