For pediatric sinusitis, antibiotics such as cefadroxil or amoxicillin are commonly used. If anaerobic bacterial infection is present, metronidazole or tinidazole may be administered concurrently under medical supervision. During the course of pediatric sinusitis, intranasal corticosteroid sprays, such as budesonide nasal spray, can also be used for treatment.
