Sinusitis is a complex inflammatory process that occurs in the nasal sinuses. If sinusitis is not treated, it is easy to achieve complications and serious consequences.

The causes of sinusitis in children, why is sinusitis?

• Sinusitis is a common disease of the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract (sinuses). This disease can be like chronic. and sharp. Most often, children get sick with acute sinusitis. Not rarely, sinusitis - a consequence of rhinitis, as well as various viral and infectious diseases
• The neglected cold and allergic runny nose also causes sinusitis in children. It arises in those whose immunity suffers and is weak. Such cases are not rare during dental diseases and inflammatory diseases in the mouth. as well as larynx
• Adenoids are not rarely cause sinusitis, since they are the causes of which nasal breathing is disturbed
• Adenoids are also sources and distributors of infections

Another type of disease is chronic, occurs as a consequence after a seriously transferred inflammatory disease. As a rule, during inflammation, not favorable conditions are created in which sinuses are not able to carry out the outflow of mucus and secretions.

It is not rarely sinusitis arises for the following reasons:

• too thick partition of the nasal mucosa
• curved partition in the nose
• hypertrophy of shells in the nose

Each parent may notice that the greatest predisposition of the child to the disease occurs in the winter season. Just in winter, the children's organism is most susceptible and immunity is weakening.

You can distinguish several types of sinusitis:

• sinusitis - consequence of rhinitis
• sinusitis is infectious
• sinusitis - as a result of inflammatory diseases in the company
• sinusitis - as a result of injury

The sinuses are sinusitis - paired air cavities located near the nose. There are also two sinuses located above the eye sockets and one cavity based on the skull. All cavities are connected by channels through which the sinuses are ventilated and cleaned.

To get rid of the disease correctly, you need to know exactly the causes of the disease:

Sinusitis, as a result of acute respiratory viral infections or acute respiratory infections. Very often sinusitis occurs after the flu, when normal mucous is difficult. It is precisely because of the lack of normal outflow that an infection that excites the disease falls into the mucous membrane.

It is not rarely sinusitis that occurs against the background of allergies. Ordinary allergic rhinitis due to the presence of stimuli is easily capable of developing into sinusitis. Such sinusitis is characterized by severe edema of the sinuses.

Injuries and bruises on the face also cause sinusitis. After all, they are able to damage the integrity and even fracture of the nasal septum.

When the virus enters the bloodstream, an infectious disease occurs. Weak immunity causes its rapid development of rhinitis and its aggravation. Most often in children it happens. Also, children's sinusitis arises in the consequence:

• periodontitis - inflammatory diseases of the teeth
• osteomyelitis - purulent infection, which affects bone tissue
• periostitis - acute inflammation of the periosteum

Vegeto-vascular dystonia can aggravate sinusitis-disorders of the heart and blood vessels, when the respiratory tract is poorly provided with blood. Inclaim adenoids also contribute to the accumulation of mucus in the bosom and favors the spread of infection.

Ordinary caries or stomatitis can also cause sinusitis.

The occurrence of sinusitis can also be the predisposition of the child to him and hereditary diseases, as well as the innate curvature of the sinuses. Proper treatment can only be selected when the cause of its appearance will be clarified in detail and accurately.

Symptoms and signs of sinusitis in children at any age

As medical practice shows, the symptoms of the disease can take place in solitary and multiple quantities.

You can most often distinguish:

• Enhanced constant pain in the head. It mainly has a certain localization and most often gives either to the forehead or in whiskey. It can be traced that the pain is mainly localized where the sinus is inflamed. A headache can become clearer and stronger when tilting the head, sneezing and coughing. In a lying position, you can notice how the pain becomes easier and not even noticeable. The headache for sinusitis is completely dependent on the activity of the child.
• Pain in the teeth -also a bright symptom that speaks of the presence of sinusitis in a child. Such sensations can intensify during food chewing. Most pain is precisely on chewing teeth, as they are very sensitive to inflammatory processes
• Laid nose. The nasal sinuses are clogged with pus and breathing becomes extremely difficult. It is very difficult to get such pus naturally. It is very simple to distinguish sinusitis from a cold: listen to how the child describes well -being. Sinusitis is often characterized by unilateral nasal congestion, and the nostril can change.
• High body temperature. The temperature occurs at sinusitis as with any other inflammatory disease. The body is trying to get rid of the disease with all its might and therefore its struggle responds with an increase in temperature. The appearance of chills is possible
• Numerous discharge. Such discharge from the nose can be different: sometimes transparent, sometimes have a muddy yellowish or greenish tint. The sense of smell worsens. In the presence of such secretions, most often standard disfigurement cannot bring relief, except for several minutes. After the abuse, the child may feel a deterioration in the condition
• Swelling and redness of the cheeks. On the children's face, you can sometimes not see a clear, and sometimes obvious redness. Most often, it manifests itself on the side of the face in which the inflamed sinus is located. If you press redness, you can feel pain. The same thing is possible to feel when pressing the nose bridge
• Capriciousness. The child changes in behavior, his activity is declining, giving way to whims. Often the child suffers from poor appetite and even completely refuses food. His mood is apathy
• Voice change.The voice is able to gain nasal due to the fact that the sinuses become filled with pus and press on the partition
• Sore throat.It is also a symptom due to the inflammatory process, dryness and perspiration are not excluded

The appearance of one or a number of symptoms suggests that you should seek a doctor’s consultation as soon as possible. Only he is able to prescribe treatment that can be effective.

Complications after sinusitis in children, what are complications?

purulent inflammation is always accompanied by an increase in body temperature.

It is possible that the inflammatory process that began in the sinuses will switch to hearing organ.In such cases, there is a disease called “otitis media”. Such a complication is quite painful, difficult and difficult to get rid of it in a short time. Otite causes an increase in temperature, and the condition of the child deteriorates sharply.

Sometimes the symptoms do not appear strongly, but they are able to make the child feel health problems, reduce his activity.

Purulent otitis media are characterized by high body temperature and strongly worsen the general condition of the patient. However, there are frequent cases when the symptoms of otitis media are not expressed and proceed hidden. But basically, the child feels severe ear and headache.

One of the terrible consequences and complications of sinusitis - osteoperiostitis. This is a complex inflammatory bone process. It occurs because the inflammatory process gradually passes from the mucosa into bone tissue. This process is very dangerous for the health of the child.

Osteraiostitis is distinguished by both purulent and simple. Treatment of this complication is carried out only with antibiotics.

It is not uncommon who are engaged in independent treatment of sinusitis in their children do not treat the disease. That is why complications arise. An unequal sinusitis easily turns into chronic. In fact, the infection is not eliminated to the end and over time can cause a complication such as meningitis.

Meningitis - inflammation of the brain membrane. It is characterized by such symptoms as:

• strong pain in the head and migraines
• very high temperature, feverish condition
• acute response to loud sound and bright light

You can cure meningitis, but it is quite difficult. It is not always possible to get the right medicine. Since it is carried out abroad.

How to treat sinusitis in a child at home?

• Each treatment of sinusitis and even what goes at home should be completely agreed with the doctor. This is a desirable recommendation that will not achieve complications during treatment. Most often, home treatment is a good addition to the traditional medical
• Remember that any treatment of sinusitis, both purulent and simple can lead to severe complications: meningitis, brain edema or sepsis
• Treatment of sinusitis at home is effective only with mild forms of the disease. Such procedures are not complicated and for each
• Most often, treatment consists in instillation in the nasal sinus of medicinal fluids: infusion of green tea, for example. It has a good anti -inflammatory effect, like freshly squeezed carrot juice

To drip the drug in the nose, prepare the child correctly for this:

1. Place your child comfortably so that the baby’s head is directed towards the inherent nostril or nostrils, where you should drip medicine
2. Pick up a small amount of the drug with a pipette and carefully drip a small amount in the nasal sinus
3. You can repeat the procedure from the next nostril after a few minutes, carefully turning the baby's head to the other side

Folk remedy for sinusitis in children

Folk remedies are effective in the treatment of sinusitis if treatment is performed correctly, and methods are tested by time.

One of the most proven folk methods, the so -called "grandmother's method", which we were treated in childhood - potato inhalations. For treatment, you need:

1. Boil one not small potato in a uniform, you can boil several at once
2. A pan with boiled potatoes without water should be put on a table, chair and any other high surface
3. The child should be placed at the same level as the pan
4. Explain to the child that he needs to breathe potatoes and inhale hot air as long and deeper as possible with his mouth and nose at the same time

Inhalation by propolis will not be superfluous. To do this, a few drops of propolis are added to a basin with boiling water and breathe in pairs until the water cools down. Propolis can also be used to instill in the nose.

Bilateral sinusitis in a child: treatment and recommendations

Any sinusitis cannot be launched, whether it is one -sided or bilateral. If you start the treatment of bilateral sinusitis, then it will inevitably lead to serious consequences. If symptoms are detected, you should urgently consult a doctor to avoid turning a simple sinusitis into chronic.

A bilateral sinusitis is an inflammatory process that affects the two sides of the nasal sinuses at once. Of course, this form of the disease is more complex and its consequences are more serious.

The most important symptom that speaks of the presence of a disease is a strong swelling in the area of \u200b\u200bcheekbones, cheeks, foreheads and teeth. Very often, bilateral sinusitis is accompanied by severe headaches, jaw pains that intensify during food. Cheeks can blush, and the body temperature of a sick person rises.

You can diagnose bilateral sinusitis with:

• x -ray is not the best way for children, the picture may not be unequivocal
• punctures - using the piercing of the sinus itself and the suction of pus, this is a painful procedure performed under anesthesia
• diaphanoscopy - shine of the sinuses with a special lamp, this is a painless and safest way

In case of bilateral sinusitis, the doctor prescribes treatment: acupuncture, washing, antibiotics, a catheter reducing pressure in the nose, ultraviolet and laser therapy.

Treatment of sinusitis with antibiotics: name of medications

Poor well -being and severe pain force doctors to prescribe antibiotics to treat sinusitis:

One of the most common drugs - Macropen.The active substance "Midecamitsin" is actively fighting an infection that provoked sinusitis. Take the medicine strictly according to the instructions, taking into account the recommendations of the doctor and only after food.

Another drug - "Augmentin". It is based on penicillin. A very strong antibiotic that should not be taken without a doctor’s recommendation. The drug has a strong effect on the gastrointestinal tract and it should not be used for more than two weeks.

Sumamed -the most popular antibiotic used in our time. Used to treat sinusitis in children and adults.

Ceftriaxone -injections. Antibiotic for the treatment of infectious diseases. Has contraindications. It is used mainly for the treatment of sinusitis.

Cephasolin -semi -synthetic antibiotic. It has a strong antimicrobial effect. It has an influence on the gastrointestinal tract, and is also able to give an allergic reaction.

Puncture for sinusitis for children, why do they make a puncture?

If drug treatment does not give results, the doctor prescribes a puncture - a puncture of the sinus sinus and drying pus.

If the pus does not pump out on time, except for strong pain, the inflammatory process is able to have a lot of negative effects on the health of the child and lead to severe complications. If you observe a child, an increase in temperature. The poor patency of the mucus in the nose and even an unpleasant odor - you should urgently seek treatment.

The soreness of the procedure and the consequences of it depend only on how professional the doctor is. Puncture is made only in the nasal sinus. Correct manipulations should completely exclude infection during the procedure. If the puncture is made professionally, it will invariably lead to a positive result.

Of course, this procedure is one of the most unpleasant, but it really helps and avoids the patient long -term administration of antibiotics. Basically, the puncture procedure takes place without the consequences for the patient and the hole from the injection is rapidly delayed within a month. The place of puncture does not require special care.

Useful prevention of sinusitis in children of any age
