[Therapy of sinusitis in childhood].

Therapy of sinusitis in childhood should be adapted both to various kinds and degrees of inflammation and to the age of the child. Furthermore, aetiology and pathology of the disease should also be taken into account. Especially in chronic disease, an allergy could be the cause; therefore, one should initiate suitable investigations and start adequate treatment. As with all long-term therapy measures, it is essential to persuade both the child and the parents to participate in the treatment and to get their co-operation.
