One of the main methods of treatment of this disease is usage of antibacterial agents — both systemic and topical. However choice of such drugs is complicated due to the age limits. Topical nasal spray with wide spectrum of bactericidal activity can be indicated in patients since birth. It significantly increases the efficacy of treatment and decreases the risk of complications. That is why it can be recommended for acute rhinosinusitis treatment in children of such age group.
