Abstract

Chronic sinusitis in children who do not have other underlying medical problems is a medically treatable disease, and surgery is not required often. Allergies, environmental factors, and gastroesophageal reflux are the three most important contributing causes of chronic sinusitis in children. Chronic sinusitis is not a primary infectious disease.
