Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
Children's sinusitis cannot heal on its own. Pediatric sinusitis is an infectious disease, and if not treated promptly and effectively, the inflammation may spread to surrounding areas, thus it cannot completely resolve spontaneously. To improve the condition as soon as possible, antibiotics such as amoxicillin capsules should be appropriately used under a doctor's guidance. Additionally, nasal drops containing oxymetazoline hydrochloride may be used to aid recovery, although this medication is suitable for children aged two years and older.
