Use of herbal medicines in the treatment of children with acute sinusitis

Abstract

Acute inflammation of the paranasal sinuses (PNS) is one of the urgent problems in pediatric otolaryngology. Despite the introduction of new methods of diagnosis and treatment, the prevalence of acute sinusitis has not decreased today; just on the opposite, the number of patients tends to increase, particularly among children. The incidence of acute sinusitis in the past ten years has doubled, while the proportion of hospitalized patients grows annually by 1.5-2%. Among patients seeking ENT care at healthcare facilities, those with diseases of PNS constitute the majority and account for 62% [1].
