Complications at a cold

The basic complications of a cold which develop often enough at preschool age, the chronic rhinitis, a sinusitis (disease paranasal sinuses) and an acute average otitis (a middle ear inflammation) are. Last complication often arises at children of the first year of a life because an acoustical pipe at them wide and short, and constant position of children of thoracal age on a back, absence of skill of an expectoration at acute inflammations of a mucosa of a nasal cavity and a nasopharynx conduct, in particular, to become numb a secret from a nasal cavity through an acoustical pipe in a middle ear and to inflammation development. In the disease beginning there is an accruing pain, then intolerable, that deprives of the child of rest. The baby twirls by a head, cries. Probably impellent excitation. It is necessary at occurrence of the given signs, not leading up to occurrence purulent separated from an ear that specifies in presence of rupture of a tympanic membrane, immediately to address to the otolaryngologist (ENT-doctor) which will solve a question on necessity of hospitalisation or treatment of the kid in house conditions. And especially, if there was a flow of pus from an ear, consultation of the expert is required, besides treatment in the conditions of a hospital in this case is shown.

The chronic rhinitis develops at children of 3-5 years against repeating rhinites (to 12 times a year) is more often. The basic complaints: the complicated nasal breath, alternate stuffiness one of half of nose, allocation of a nasal cavity. Usually treatment is spent in out-patient conditions.

Sinusitises at children of early age (till 3 years) quite often proceed asymptomatically, that is caused by incomplete development of adnexal sinuses of a nose at this age (the trellised sinus as the most developed at children of this age is more often amazed).

Sinusitis treatment

Sinusitis treatment probably in house conditions. But if at a sinusitis the body temperature reaches 38,0 ºC and above, the anxiety of the child is observed, are available allocation from a nasal cavity with a blood impurity, in that case it is required immediate to hospitalisation.
