What should be done for chronic cough caused by sinusitis in children?

Chronic cough caused by sinusitis in children can generally be improved through oral medications, local treatments, or surgical interventions.

1. Oral medications: For chronic cough due to sinusitis in children, treatment may include oral administration of pediatric lung-dispersing and cough-relieving granules, pediatric cough-asthma relieving oral solution, or Biyuan Tongqiao granules, under medical guidance.

2. Local treatments: Chronic cough caused by sinusitis in children can be managed by nasal irrigation with normal saline to remove sticky secretions and maintain nasal hygiene. Additionally, topical medications such as budesonide inhalation aerosol or mometasone furoate nasal spray may be used as directed by a physician.

3. Surgical treatment: If chronic cough is caused by structural abnormalities in the nasal cavity or sinuses and shows poor response to oral or local treatments, surgery may be recommended by a doctor. Common surgical procedures include endoscopic sinus surgery and septoplasty.

In addition, other treatments such as maxillary sinus puncture and irrigation or nasal steam inhalation may also help improve symptoms. It is recommended to follow medical advice for appropriate management.
