Abstract

Acute rhinosinusitis is one of the most common diseases in childhood. Difficulties in identifying pathogens increase the importance of pathogenetic therapy. A study of clinical efficacy of mucolytic agents of herbal origin in the treatment of acute rhinosinusitis of 2 days period combined with respiratory viral infection in 95 children aged 4 to 14 years was carried out. The dynamics of the disease symptoms (rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, and olfaction) was estimated based on the diaries filled by parents every day. The study demonstrated the feasibility of the phytopreparation inclusion in the complex therapy of acute rhinosinusitis in children.
