Sinus infections are treated with antibiotics. Adjuvant therapy can include various forms of saline spray to flush the bacteria from the nose and nasal decongestants, like Nasonex or Flonase. The seriousness of sinus infections is based on the child's reaction to the infection. Factors to consider include the amount of fever they have, how they feel, and how they are eating and drinking
Sinus infections in babies can be serious. They should be treated with antibiotics and should be followed closely by the pediatrician, especially if the baby has a persistent fever. Nasal saline spray is helpful for clearing the nose.
