Question
What are the treatment methods for pediatric sinusitis?
Answer
When treating pediatric sinusitis, the following measures can be taken:
- Provide children with a balanced and easily digestible diet, ensuring they receive adequate vitamins and minerals and avoid picky eating.
- Adjust clothing according to weather changes, enhance physical fitness through exercise, and ensure good air circulation in the bedroom during sleep.
- Prevent colds and other infectious diseases, especially during outbreaks, by reducing outdoor activities or contact with public places.
- Appropriate treatment should be administered for conditions such as tonsillitis or adenoid hypertrophy.
- For acute sinusitis, use anti-inflammatory medications, fever-reducing drugs during high fever, and ensure adequate rest. Nasal decongestants can be used to improve ventilation and promote sinus drainage.
- The treatment of chronic sinusitis can also involve anti-inflammatory drugs and nasal medications. In some cases, special therapies such as nasal hypotensive therapy or sinus puncture may be required.
