Treatment of chronic maxillary sinusitis in children

F W Otten et al. Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol. 1988 Sep.

Abstract

In the present study 141 children aged between 3 and 10 years and suffering from chronic maxillary sinusitis were treated non-selectively in one of 4 ways: amoxicillin combined with decongestive nose drops, drainage of the maxillary sinus, a combination of the two, or a placebo. The duration of the follow-up period was 6 months. The therapeutic effects of the 4 forms of treatment did not differ significantly. Haemophilus influenzae and streptococcus pneumoniae were the micro-organisms encountered most often in these children. The results are discussed.
