Doctors have been dealing with inflammatory disease of nose and paranasal sinuses as early as since the XVII century. Rhinosinusitis is a polyethiologic inflammation of nose and paranasal sinuses, accompanied by congestion of secretion and impaired aeration of paranasal sinuses. In children, acute sinusitis is often a complication of viral infection (70-80%). Treatment regimens include drug therapy and mechanical removal of abnormal secretions from infected sinuses and input of solution.
