CHILDREN CAN GET RID OF THAT SINUS INFECTION FAST AND EASILY WITH ENDOSCOPIC SURGERY
Sinusitis appears in the winter, mainly with symptoms such as a fuzzy head and “blocked” ears. This is often accompanied by a foul-smelling discharge from the nose or pain between the eyes, across the entire face or in the back part of the skull, as well as persistent coughing.
When cold-associated symptoms persist for more than 5-7 days or patients suffer from high fevers, thick and mucus-like discharges, swelling and pain around the eyes.
There are many reasons that someone may have a predisposition to develop sinusitis; a deviated septum, nasal polyps, allergic rhinitis, or inflammation of the surrounding tissue (adenoids, tonsils, etc.) just to name a few. Another important factor is malnutrition.
If antibiotic treatments do not have the expected results, the ENT doctor will ask you to proceed with a series of blood tests, culture of nasal secretions or in some cases, an MRI.
It is important that parents know that the cavities of our sinuses are visible after three years of age. This means that X rays are unnecessary before the age of four, because they cannot be of any use in the diagnostic process.
They should learn to wash their hands regularly and to cough on their elbow, not their hands. In addition, a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables and cereals, good sleeping habits and regular exercise help shield their immune system and protect them from viruses and bacteria. Of course a sick child must stay home, not only because there is a risk of getting worse but also of getting other children sick.
When the inflammation of the sinuses persists despite the appropriate medical treatment and is confirmed with endoscopic and imaging examination, then this is a clear indication for surgical treatment. With the development of technology, surgical treatment for sinusitis is performed without incisions, endoscopically, with the use of a high precision camera featuring state of the art zooming, lighting and navigation features. It is important to note that when the only solution is surgical treatment, parents need to take action in time to prevent complications that may arise in the surrounding organs.
