Abstract
Acute respiratory infections remain one of the most common diseases in children. In spite of a huge range of medications available to treat and prevent acute respiratory diseases, investigations, the objective of which is to enhance therapeutic efficiency in children with acute respiratory diseases, are being continued. Objective: to enhance the clinical efficiency of treatment using the warming gel “Dyshi” in children with acute rhinosinusitis. A total of 60 children aged 3 to 7 years with mild acute rhinosinusitis were followed up. The children were divided into 2 groups of 30 in each. Group 1 received the warming gel “Dyshi” for children in addition to standard combination therapy; Group 2 had standard combination therapy alone. The clinical efficiency was evaluated based on the changes in rating scores of the severity of the major symptoms of the disease. The application of the warming gel “Dyshi” for children as part of combination therapy enhances the clinical efficiency of therapy for mild acute rhinosinusitis can more promptly ease the major symptoms of the disease, shorten the duration of therapy, and reduce the number of used decongestants and the risk of complications. There was no case of intolerance or allergy due to the application of the gel “Dyshi”. The latter alleviates nasal breathing and causes reductions in nasal swelling and the magnitude of cough, which may be recommended for use in the combination therapy of rhinosinusitis in children.
