Symptoms of pediatric sinusitis include purulent nasal discharge, headache, difficulty concentrating, and nasal congestion. Pediatric sinusitis is a common condition, primarily triggered by the common cold (especially due to exposure to cold) or adenoid hypertrophy, and manifests with symptoms such as nasal congestion and purulent nasal discharge. Treatment may include decongestant and sinus-opening medications, along with antibiotics, under a physician’s guidance. For sinusitis caused by obstructive adenoid hypertrophy, surgical intervention may be considered to alleviate symptoms.
