ABSTRACT
Objectives To investigate the treatment and curative effect on paranasal sinuses and bronchitis in children. Methods Treatment of 62 cases of paranasal sinuses and bronchiolitis was retrospectively analyzed. Antibiotics was used in conventional treatment group (n=23). On top of conventional treatment, conventional plus topical treatment group (n=39) was additionally treated with nasal inhaled corticosteroids, sinus puncture, adenoid or tonsil surgery, etc. Results In conventional treatment group and conventional plus topical treatment group, the total effective rate of treatment for more than 8 weeks was 86.96%and 100.00%respectively, the effective rate for those treated for 4-8 weeks was 39.13%and 61.54%respectively. There was signiifcant difference in the effective rate of treatment for more than 8 weeks and for 4-8 weeks (both P<0.05) between two groups. Signiifcant difference also existed between the effective rate of treatment for more than 8 weeks and for 4-8 weeks (P<0.05) in each group. Conclusions Childhood sino-bronchitis should be treated not only with conventional treatment, but also with cor-rect topical treatment for local pathological changes in nasal sinus and nasopharynx. Longer treatment is needed for children with recurrent chronic sino-bronchitis.
