When a 6-year-old child develops sinusitis, general treatment, medication, and surgical intervention can be considered. It is recommended that parents promptly bring their child to the hospital for a doctor's assessment and select an appropriate treatment plan under medical guidance.
I. General Treatment
Children aged 1-2 are in their growth and development stage. If their immune system is weak, they are prone to bacterial or viral infections, leading to inflammatory reactions and subsequently sinusitis. In daily life, it is crucial to maintain proper warmth, avoid catching a cold, and maintain a balanced diet rich in light foods. Fresh fruits and vegetables, such as apples and cucumbers, can be consumed to replenish essential nutrients and aid in recovery.
II. Medication
1.
Antibiotics: For sinusitis caused by bacterial infection, Amoxicillin Granules or Cefixime Granules can be prescribed under medical guidance to combat infection, control inflammation, and alleviate symptoms.
2.
Antihistamines: If accompanied by allergic rhinitis symptoms like sneezing and running nose, Levocabastine Hydrochloride Nasal Spray or Loratadine Syrup can be prescribed to alleviate symptoms.
3.
Decongestants: Furosemide Nasal Drops or Xylometazoline Hydrochloride Nasal Spray can be used to constrict nasal mucosa blood vessels, reducing nasal congestion.
III. Surgical Treatment
For cases where the above methods prove ineffective, surgical intervention may be necessary. Common procedures include endoscopic sinus surgery and maxillary sinus radical surgery. Physical therapy, such as infrared radiation and ultrashort wave therapy, can also be used as adjunctive treatments to promote local blood circulation, aid in inflammation resolution, and alleviate symptoms.
