Summary
Summary
Illnesses of the upper airways are the most common disorders in people in their developing years. Acute nasal catarrh can appear many times in the year, and if the defence mechanism is in good condition, the situation will last for a couple of days, after which the patient is cured.
However, the defence mechanism in children is not always reliable, for many reasons. In such cases, the child suffers infected illnesses of the upper airways, which can persist for many months, or recur many times in the year. Only those actions should be carried out which are important for the correct functioning of the binasal sinuses. These procedures are collectively known as Mini-FESS or PESS.
