What Is a Sinus Infection?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
9. Kids
People of all ages can get a sinus infection, and children are more prone to the condition than adults are. One of the reasons for this is that diseases tend to spread quickly through schools because the children tend to stay grouped closely together throughout the day. Other reasons include the use of pacifiers in particularly young children, and drinking from the bottle while they are lying on their back.
Allergies are also a common cause of sinus infections in kids, and the sensitive tissues of young children are particularly sensitive to smoke and fumes. If a child does develop symptoms of any infection, you should arrange to take them to a doctor.
