Pediatric Sinusitis and Rhinosinusitis Treatment

Pediatric sinusitis and rhinosinusitis refer to inflammation of the sinuses in children, often caused by infections or allergies. Treatment typically includes saline nasal rinses to clear mucus, nasal corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, and, in some cases, antibiotics if a bacterial infection is suspected. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help with discomfort. Ensuring adequate hydration and using a humidifier may also alleviate symptoms. It’s important for parents to monitor their child’s condition and consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist or worsen.
