DISEASES AROUND NOSE

NOSE serves to filter impurities from the incoming air through the mucus membranes. When the mucous membrane is not good work, and there was respiratory tract infection. Research shows in one year, children can be 6-8 times of developing the disease because their immune systems immature.

Respiratory tract infection disease is actually a self-limiting disease (heal itself without treatment). But if do not heal more than 5 days, should take the child treatment. Especially with the change in color of mucus that is yellow-green, plus a fever of about 38.5 degrees Celsius. This means that the infection is widespread that if ignored may become chronic.

* Sinusitis

As a result of respiratory tract infections, such as a prolonged flu, then the 6-13 per cent could be an infection in the sinus / nasal cavity around. Symptoms of this bacterial infection caused by a blockage in the nose, runny nose and cough out repeatedly. When it can be accompanied by acute fever, halitosis, headache, sometimes there is interference with the eye (feels heavy and sore). Why is there a complaint on the eye? This deals with the anatomy around the nose that has 4 pairs of paranasal sinuses (located near the nose), which is located in the maxillary sinus cheek, frontal sinus in the forehead, sinus etmoid near the eye, and behind the sinus sinus sfenoid etmoid there. Well, there is sinus in children is a sine etmoid located near the eyes and maxillary around the cheek. While in other areas such as sinuses in the forehead and sinuses behind etmoid sfenoid undeveloped.

Sinusitis is a chronic runny nose when coughing repeatedly. For example, the child has a cough for 3 months. After that healed but soon a cold again.

Efforts to cure with the provision of drugs for 10-14 days, and physiotherapy. It seemed a long treatment, the goal so that no residual symptoms. If untreated, sinusitis can continue to suffer until adulthood.

Feared complication of sinusitis is a sino-bronchitis because of mucus that flows continuously penetrate into the lungs. Sometimes complications like these parents do not realize that medications given to children was limited to cope with the cough, not sinusitisnya. As a result, coughing will not heal or there are recurrent chronic cough.

For sinus not become more severe, the child needs to do some restrictions:

1. Avoid cold drinks because the cold will make the sinus tract to swell.

2. Not advisable to swim because it was feared there local trauma, such as exposure to pool water can irritate the child's nose.

3. Avoid cigarette smoke because it can cause irritation of the nasal cavity of children. Dust and pollution also can make swollen sinus cavity.

If sinusitis does not go away, then it happened blockage. Treatment provided should be appropriate, such as administration of antibiotics and several drugs that aim to help process these antibiotics work. Other drugs, such as decongestants, antihistamines, Mukolitik / destroyer of mucus, even a nasal spray or drops can also be given.

If treatment has not shown significant results, will take action operations. The goal is to eliminate the causes and improving the drainage (discharge constant) and sinus ventilation. Surgery is often performed on children generally are adenoidektomi and sometimes necessary to wash the sinuses which are filled with mucus. Appointment of adenoids (tonsils at the back of the nasal cavity) is done with pengerokan or adenoid curette. The purpose of this action to remove the blockage and the source of infection.

* Conceded Foreign Objects

Can be a flake of paper, foam, crayons, small toys particles, or other. Usually result in a runny nose on one side of the nose, and some have to bleed. Will issue an unpleasant smell when it comes to infection.

Therefore, if the child possessed by a foreign object, do not ever try to remove it so as not to aggravate the situation. In addition to the child so in pain, the surrounding area will be swollen so difficult to remove the object.

* Nasal polyp

Polyps appear as soft lumps of white or grayish which is not accompanied by pain. The lump comes from swelling of mucus membranes (mucosa) containing intercellular fluid (between cells) are drawn into the nose. Usually formed by a hypersensitive reaction (allergy). Often occurs in adulthood.

When polyps are small will be given corticosteroid drugs taken orally or topical (spray). If a large polyp size, the removal of polyps.

Do not forget to treat allergies and prevent the occurrence of infections occur by handling flu suffered through to completion. This disease can occur repeatedly, then do not be surprised if a polyp surgery can also occur repeatedly.

* Nosebleed

On the inside of the nose, especially the nasal bone region leksus gieselbach front there, which is a coated woven vascular mucous membrane. In children, blood vessels webbing is still very thin.

Well, if the child is often nose, cold sore constantly, or nose conceded a foreign object, then the area will be irritated or injured and there was a nosebleed.

Nosebleeds can also be caused by a disease or disorder such as cancer, blood disorders, or other. Generally, this possibility is thought to occur when the nose bleeds often occur in children who are older (teens).

In the event of a nosebleed, do not be put to sleep or the child's position Strongs head because it can cause the blood to enter the airway.

* Sitting slightly leaned forward, do not look down.

* Press the second nostril with your fingers. Ask the child to breathe through the mouth.

* While pressing the nostril, compress the area between the nose and forehead with ice wrapped in cloth for quick blood clot. In the area there are many blood vessels woven.

* After 10 minutes the bleeding usually stops. If not, then immediately take the child to the doctor.
