Qingbi Tang: Will sinusitis affect children’s height?

When a child does not grow tall, many parents' first reaction is that the child is malnourished. But if you also find that the child becomes inattentive, has poor academic performance, has poor sleep, always feels dizzy and has a headache, and likes to rub his nose, then parents should be alert to whether the child has sinusitis. So does sinusitis have anything to do with a child's failure to grow tall? In fact, this is the same as the principle of "treating the foot for a headache". Headaches are only caused by other diseases, not the root cause. Only by finding the root cause and treating it can the symptoms be improved. Similarly, if a child does not grow tall and is accompanied by the above symptoms, the root cause is likely sinusitis.

Qingbi Tang: What are the dangers of sinusitis in children?

Sinusitis is very harmful to the body, especially chronic sinusitis, which can cause headaches, dizziness, brain swelling, insomnia, forgetfulness, memory loss, irritability, and students' academic performance gradually declines, and they become drowsy, indifferent, and unable to concentrate.

Sinusitis itself can affect the child's heart and cause arrhythmia. Irregular heartbeat or fast heart rate in children will cause them to be careless, active, and nosy.

In addition, children's growth hormone is mainly secreted at night. Children with chronic sinusitis will not sleep well and will roll around, which will affect their sleep. In addition, children's fast heart rate will cause difficulty in falling asleep, which will affect the secretion of growth hormone, so the child's height will grow slowly.
