Treatment of sinusitis in children folk remedies at home

Content

Sinusitis in children is a common and insidious disease. It can turn into very serious consequences, and therefore treatment requires serious and thoughtful. But this does not mean that the child will have to do a surgical puncture and washing the sinuses. Now there are enough different medicines that can cope with the disease without surgery. In addition, there are effective folk therapies. We will talk about them in this article.

Symptoms and signs

Inflammation of the mucous membrane of the maxillary sinuses (sinusitis) most often occurs in children as a result of improper treatment of influenza or ARVI as a complication. Sometimes ailment can be a consequence of scarlet fever or measles. Often leads to sinusitis chronic runny nosewhich for a long time could not be cured. In children, and especially in adolescents who are growing intensively, sometimes there is a curvature of the nasal septum, which can also lead to the occurrence of the disease. Other causes include allergic rhinitis, immune deficiency.

If the disease torments the child for a couple of weeks, it is acute sinusitis, and if a couple of months or more is chronic.

Independently recognize this disease is not always easy. Its symptoms may resemble many other respiratory diseases. For accurate diagnosis, you must consult a doctor. This should be done as soon as possible when the following problems appear:

  • The nose is blocked all the time, nasal breathing is impaired or absent, smells are indistinguishable or differ with great difficulty.
  • From the nose secreted mucus (from transparent to gray-purulent).
  • There is pain and a feeling of "rastiraniya" in the forehead, nasal sinuses. When the head is tilted down, there is a feeling of strong pressure and heaviness on either side of the nose.
  • Sometimes there is photophobia, eyelid edema, swelling of the cheeks from the side of the diseased sinus, tearing.
  • The temperature increased (up to 38.0).
  • There is general weakness and malaise.
  • Persistent dry, unproductive night cough, with no sore throat or complaints of breathing problems during the day. Does not respond to cough medicine.

What is the danger?

If you do not treat sinusitis, it will become chronic. The condition is unpleasant and intractable. The acute phase of the disease without medical intervention can cause the inflammation to spread to the neighboring tissues, the eyes, hearing organs, throat, brain, and sepsis can be affected.

When folk methods can not do?

In most cases, sinusitis requires treatment with medications, rather than folk remedies, sometimes even in a hospital. However, time-tested "grandmothers" tips can be a good help in the difficult task of getting rid of the inflammation of the maxillary sinuses. Naturally, with the permission of the doctor.

Let's listen to Dr. Komarovsky about what is antritis in a child and how dangerous he is.

To drip a child in the nose only onion juice for sinus is criminally and carelesslyif his disease is severe, with fever and headaches. Not even a strong folk remedy can replace sinus quite traditional antibiotics.Therefore, whenever there is a suspicion of sinusitis, you need to take your child to the doctor as soon as possible.

Effective folk remedies

Traditional methods of treating sinusitis are largely consonant with the applied treatment regimen at the doctors. They involve three main stages: first you need to release the sinuses and nasal passages from mucus and pus, then carry out disinfection, and lastly - fix the result by heating (in traditional medicine, physiotherapy procedures are usually used at the final stage).

Nose drops and rinsing, antimicrobial treatment

They usually wash their nose for children with a solution of furatsilina, which is easy to prepare at home, or with sea water. However, you can make a saline solution (1 teaspoon salt in a glass of water). After thorough washing, exercises "cuckoo", you can bury in the nose decoctions and water infusions of chamomile, calendula, eucalyptus.

It is easy to prepare such “drops”: you will need one and a half cups of boiling water for 2 teaspoons of dry grass or pharmaceutical collection. After the agent infuses, strain it and bury it in each nasal passage 2-3 drops up to 5 times a day.

Excellent proven aloe juice. Take the fleshy leaf of the plant, squeeze through cheesecloth, dilute it in half with honey (if the child is not allergic to bee products). To drip such a tool can be 2 drops in the nostrils several times a day.

Effective, according to reviews, drops of beet juice and pressed onion juice (it must be diluted with boiled water in a ratio of 1: 2).

Warming up

It is better to carry out such procedures when the inflammation begins to recede. To do this, you need an inhaler or a special device - a nebulizer. If there are no such technical achievements at home, you can mix in a deep glass or ceramic bowl a hot infusion of sage or St. John's wort (2 tablespoons of herbs per cup of boiling water) and a few drops of essential oil (eucalyptus, pine, menthol will do). The child should be covered with a towel and allowed to breathe in pairs.

Care should be taken that the child does not get burns of the face, nasal passages, eyes. The device inhaler reduces the risk of such thermal injury to zero.

Any grandmother can gladly tell you the recipe for “rolling out” sinusitis with a boiled chicken egg. The warm egg was moved in a circular motion along the frontal area, the sinuses until the egg cooled completely. And so several times a day.

A very unusual method of inhalation for sinus can be tried using ordinary black bread. A small piece is set on fire and let the child breathe this bread smoke.

Self-treatment danger

In the 19th century, when there is a mass of medicines, the position of parents who are trying to treat such a serious disease as antritis, with garlic, onions and bread smoke, is not at all clear. Unfortunately, doctors are forced to state that 80% of patients who come with severe forms of sinusitis, or children with advanced stages when hospitalization is required, are just the people who tried to treat sinusitis with folk remedies at home. Until then, until the problem has become catastrophic.

What can not be done?

  • It is strictly forbidden to warm the nose in the acute stage of inflammation. This may cause a faster spread of the infection.

  • Do not inhale the house at high temperatures.
