AIRWAY INFECTION IN THE PEDIATRIC COMMUNITY LINKED TO THE APPROPRIATE TREATMENT OF EACH CONDITION
Sinusitis and rhinitis are inflammations of the nasal mucosa, especially in children, but they are difficult to diagnose, as they are confused with other similar problems. The use of antibiotics to treat viral infections in children is inappropriate. Treatment is often empirical, based on microbiological data such as cultures and antimicrobial sensitivity, varying for acute and chronic treatment in terms of doses and duration. There is divergence of criteria on these aspects.

Abstract:
Sinusitis and rhinitis are inflammations of the nasal mucosa, especially in children, but they are difficult to diagnose, as they are confused with other similar problems. The use of antibiotics to treat viral infections in children is inappropriate. Treatment is often empirical, based on microbiological data such as cultures and antimicrobial sensitivity, varying for acute and chronic treatment in terms of doses and duration. There is divergence of criteria on these aspects.
