Q. Who is more likely to get infected with sinusitis - children or adults?

A. Children are more likely to get upper respiratory infections such as sinusitis, rhinitis, sore throats etc. This is because their sinuses, tonsils, adenoids and other body muscles are smaller and softer. As a result when irritated, a child's sinuses get blocked easier.

Kids also eat an abundant amount of soft foods. These soft foods help promote an overproduction of secretions in the nasal and oral cavities. When bacteria, viruses and other irritants do infect the nasal or oral cavities of a child, their mucus may thicken causing an irritation in both the sinuses and nasal passages. This irritation may result in sinusitis.

How do I know when my child has sinusitis?

Sinusitis symptoms are very much similar to those of a common cold. Your child may even complain of having a cold. If your child continues complaining that he/she has a cold for about 10 days, we advise that you take him/her to your local GP.

Some of the signs and symptoms to look for in your child if you think he/she has sinusitis are:

• A runny or stuffy nose
• Yellowish or green mucus
• Irritation of the nasal passages and sinus cavities
• Overall body weakness
• Redness in the nose
• Breathlessness
• Bloodstained mucus
• Bad smelling mucus
• Swelling around the eyes
• Tenderness around the cheeks
• Headaches
• Headache that is more painful when leaning forward
• Low fever
• Sleeplessness
• Upset stomach
• Vomiting mucus
• Sore throat

If your child shows any of these symptoms, we would recommend you take him/her to a professional health practitioner (preferably an otolaryngologist) for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Do not give your child any other medication without your doctors' consent.

Q. Can my child be healthy with sinusitis?

A. Sinusitis is a serious respiratory problem. If your child suffers from sinusitis, treatment should be considered right away. If untreated, sinusitis may cause complications to your child's general health. Remember, treating sinusitis means promoting proper mucus drainage. If your child's mucus drainage remains poor for a while, other sicknesses such as asthma, pneumonia, nasal polyps etc. may develop.
