Treat Ear Nose Throat Diseases in Children Correctly
The experts note that the number of complications due to undertreated SARS has increased dramatically in recent years. According to the statistics, the number of sinusitis has increased from 5-10% to 10-20%.
Almost every child under the age of 3 years experiences from 1 to 2 cases of acute otitis media. 70-80% of children, seeking medical help and addressing the otolaryngologist, are already at the advanced stage of the disease.
It is not only impossible – it is needless to fully protect the children from respiratory virus infections, because it is experienced cases of SARS that gradually form a child’s immune system and its insensitivity to the same, but perhaps more serious, viral infections in the future. However, it is essential that these episodes of the disease should be relatively light, without complications and not too frequent.
With the proper treatment of respiratory viral infections, the recovery occurs after an average of 7-10 days, and the allowable frequency of the disease is limited to 5-6 episodes per year for preschoolers and 3 episodes of SARS for school children. Longer or more frequent illnesses already have the risk of complications.
Cough, runny nose (rhinitis, sinusitis), hoarseness (laryngitis) are all symptoms of SARS, and their treatment should be supervised by a therapist or pediatrician, depending on the patient’s age. Aggravated runny nose or cough can cause serious complications.
