Sinusitis

Sinusitis is inflammation of the air spaces around the nose — facial pressure, thick discharge and a cough that is worse on lying down.

In children the sinuses are still growing, so the picture is often a cold that simply will not end. We treat swelling and drainage first; antibiotics only when the story is bacterial.

Understand

What we explain in clinic

Long cold

Clue

Thick discharge and daytime cough lasting more than 10 days deserve a look.

Night cough

Drip

Mucus running down the throat after bedtime keeps the child up.

Acute vs chronic

Type

A new fever after a cold can mean the sinuses have secondarily infected.

Triggers

Air

Allergy, smoke and dry rooms keep the lining swollen.

Evaluation

What we look for

Face & nose

Exam

Tenderness, post-nasal drip and allergic signs guide us.

Drainage

Care

Saline, fluids and treating the allergy often open the passages.

Medicines

Selective

A long, coloured discharge with fever is when we consider an antibiotic.

School air

Advice

Dusty classrooms and festival smoke weeks are planned for in advance.

At Grace Clinic

How care is planned

01

Listen first

We take a full history — onset, feeding, fever, sleep, school and any earlier reports.

02

Examine & chart

Growth, chest, tummy, skin and development are checked. Tests are advised only if they change care.

03

Treat & follow

A clear home plan is given, with a review so we know the child is settling.

When to book

Come if facial swelling, severe headache, swelling around the eye, or a cold that has not moved in two weeks.
