Nowadays, many people suffer from sinusitis, which is a common ear, nose, and throat disease. After suffering from sinusitis, there will be many symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, etc., which can lead to a decrease in smell in severe cases. Not only adults can suffer from sinusitis, but children can also be affected. So, how to treat children with sinusitis?
If a child has sinusitis, they should go to the hospital for formal and scientific treatment. Doctors will prescribe targeted medications based on the child's condition, such as nasal drops, tablets, etc. Parents should follow the doctor's advice to give their children medication and cannot change the dosage without authorization to avoid side effects.
While using medication to treat sinusitis, it is also necessary to clean the nasal cavity with saline solution every day to maintain hygiene. You can purchase physiological saline or mix your own saline solution, then wrap the cotton swab around a toothpick and dip it into the saline solution, and then use it to clean your child's nostrils.
When using salt water to clean the nostrils, children may not adapt well initially, but they can adapt after a few washes. Everyone should pay attention to using low concentration saline at the beginning, and then increasing the concentration appropriately after the child gradually adapts. In addition, parents should pay attention to keeping their children warm and taking preventive measures against colds. Because after a child catches a cold, it is easy for sinusitis to worsen.
