Pediatric Rhinosinusitis

Pediatric rhinosinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses in children, often caused by infections or allergies. Symptoms include nasal congestion, facial pain, coughing, and sometimes fever. Allergic reactions can worsen these symptoms, making it important for parents to identify and manage any underlying allergies. Treatment usually involves nasal saline washes, decongestants, or sometimes antibiotics if an infection is present. Good management can improve a child's comfort and help prevent future episodes. Addressing allergies through avoidance and medication can also play a key role in reducing the frequency and severity of rhinosinusitis.
