Patient's question:
Doctor, my son has been having a runny nose for these past few months, and he also says it hurts a lot. Today, I took him to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor's diagnosis was sinusitis and prescribed a bunch of medication. What is the best treatment for pediatric sinusitis?Doctor's answer:
The treatment for children's sinusitis primarily involves using physiological saline for nasal irrigation, applying viscous nasal sprays containing nasal corticosteroids, and taking sensitive antibiotics orally, among other medications. Your son's nose has been constantly running, and if it's sinusitis, it would be yellowish-green nasal discharge. If it's clear nasal discharge, it could be considered allergic rhinitis. If the doctor who examined your son today is a qualified otolaryngologist, then follow the medication prescribed by the doctor for treatment.
