Question
What are the treatment methods for pediatric nasal sinusitis?
Answer
The treatment methods for pediatric nasal sinusitis mainly include medication and surgical approaches. For acute sinusitis, conservative treatment is typically employed, using a sufficient and effective dose of antibiotics or sulfonamide drugs, along with regional medications such as 0.5% to 1% ephedrine physiological saline spray or drops. The treatment for chronic sinusitis is more complex and may require the use of vasoconstrictors, antihistamines, and even negative pressure replacement therapy. In some cases, surgical treatment may be necessary, such as tonsillectomy or nasal septum correction. For chronic maxillary sinusitis, maxillary sinus puncture and lavage can be performed under general anesthesia. Depending on the specific situation, other surgeries may also be required, such as nasal polyp removal surgery.
