Symptoms usually appear 1-2 days after viral inoculation symptoms are not the result of viral destruction of the nasal mucosa. nasal epithelium remains intact, although there is an influx of PMNs into the nasal submucosa and epithelium viral infection increases vascular permeability in the nasal submucosa, releasing albumin and kinins

TREATMENT
...COMMON COLD
Supportive therapy is the only recommended treatment Antihistamines, decongestants, antitussives, and expectorants, singly and in combinations, are all marketed for symptomatic relief in children. few clinical trials of these products in infants and children and none that demonstrate benefit for treatment of the symptoms
...COMMON COLD
Symptomatic therapy
may include antipyretics, saline nasal irrigation, adequate hydration, and the use of a humidifier Children with reactive airway disease or asthma should use beta-agonist medications to relieve associated bronchospasm.

Antipyretics
Acetaminophen (or ibuprofen, in children greater than 6 months of age) may be used to alleviate fever during the first few days

Saline irrigation
In infants, bulb suction with saline nose drops may help to temporarily remove nasal secretions in the older child, a saline nose spray may be used.

Antihistamines
The anticholinergic effects of 1st generation AH (eg, diphenhydramine) may help to reduce the secretions in controlled trials, AH have been ineffective in relieving the symptoms, in combination with decongestants or as monotherapy

Antibiotic therapy
There is no role for antibiotics in the treatment does not prevent secondary bacterial infection may cause significant side effects, contribute to increasing bacterial antimicrobial resistance.

The use of antibiotics should be reserved for clearly diagnosed secondary bacterial infections, including bacterial otitis media, sinusitis, and pneumonia

Allergic rhinitis
associated with a symptom complex characterized by paroxysms of sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal obstruction, and itching of the eyes, nose, and palate. It is also frequently associated with postnasal drip, cough, irritability, and fatigue
22
...allergic rhinitis
must be distinguished from the other forms of rhinitis Episodic exposure to inhaled allergens such as cat salivary proteins, horse dander, murine urinary proteins, pollen, or house dust mite feces may provoke acute allergic symptoms

Nasal inflammation obstruction of the sinus osteomeatal complex predisposing to bacterial infection of the sinuses. Symptoms of bacterial sinusitis may include nasal congestion, purulent rhinorrhea or postnasal drip, facial or dental pain, and cough. Purulent rhinorrhea, purulent postnasal drip, or pain in a maxillary tooth and persistent cough in children are the most useful predictors of bacterial sinusitis
28
...allergic rhinitis
The diagnosis is made on clinical grounds based upon the characteristic history (including presence of consensus risk factors), symptoms and signs on physical examination, and (if indicated) the confirmed presence of allergen-specific IgE Symptoms should also be reproducible on exposure to allergens to which the patient has been sensitized.

"Intermittent" symptoms are present less than four days per week or for less than four weeks "Persistent" symptoms are present more than four days per week and for more than four weeks "Mild" None of the items listed below for "moderate-severe" are present "Moderate-severe" One or more of the following items is present:
- Sleep disturbance - Impairment of school or work performance - Impairment of daily activities, leisure and/or sport activities - Troublesome symptoms

Nasal examination : nasal mucosa frequently displays a pale bluish hue or pallor along with turbinate edema, (not a universal finding) flexible fiberoptic rhinoscopy (> 5 years of age) may facilitate examination Clear rhinorrhea may be visible anteriorly or, with nasal obstruction, dripping down a posterior pharynx that resemble cobblestones

Allergen-specific testing
properly performed skin testing may provide an in vivo assessment of biologically relevant IgE antibodies. It is the most convenient and least expensive screening method to detect allergic sensitization. Other tests are less useful.

DEFINITIONS
Sinusitis is inflammation of the mucosal lining of one or more of the paranasal sinuses
40
A viral infection associated with the common cold is the most frequent etiology of acute sinusitis viral rhinosinusitis. Appr. 6 - 13 % of viral rhinosinusitis in children is complicated by ABS
41
Uncomplicated viral rhinosinusitis usually resolves without treatment in 7 - 10 days. Although untreated ABS also may resolve without treatment
antibiotics hastens recovery and may decrease the risk for orbital and intracranial complications.
42
43
Classification
Acute: symptoms completely resolve in <30 days Subacute: symptoms completely resolve in 30 and <90 days Recurrent: >3 episodes of <30 days duration separated by intervals of 10 days without symptoms in a 6-month period, or >4 such episodes in a 12-month period; individual episodes respond briskly to antibiotic therapy
44
Chronic sinusitis is defined by episodes of inflammation of the paranasal sinuses that last >90 days, during which patients have persistent symptoms (cough, rhinorrhea, nasal obstruction). may be related to noninfectious conditions such as allergy, cystic fibrosis, gastroesophageal reflux, or exposure to environmental pollutants
45
Risk factors
Viral URI is the most important children who attend day care Allergic rhinitis
Anatomic obstruction ( septal deformities; craniofacial anomalies; adenoidal hypertrophy) Mucosal irritants (dry air, tobacco smoke, chlorinated water) Sudden changes in atmospheric pressure (descent in an airplane)
Less common
46
Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae (non-typeable), and Moraxella catarrhalis are the predominant causes of ABS Because of its general effectiveness, safety, low cost, and narrow spectrum, amoxicillin, with or without clavulanate, generally is considered to be the first line agent for the treatment of ABS in children
47
Antibiotics
For children with uncomplicated ABS that is of mild to moderate severity
Amoxicillin (45 to 90 mg/kg per day in two divided doses), or Amoxicillin-clavulanate (45 to 90 mg/kg per day of the amoxicillin component in two divided doses)
48
Antibiotics For children who have uncomplicated ABS of at least moderate severity
Amoxicillin-clavulanate (80 to 90 mg/kg per day of amoxicillin) Cefdinir (14 mg/kg per day in 1 or 2 doses), or Cefuroxime (30 mg/kg per day), or Cefpodoxime (10 mg/kg per day once daily)
49
50
Antibiotics
Seriously ill children with ABS should be hospitalized for intravenous antibiotics. Empiric therapy should provide coverage for highly resistant pneumococci and penicillin resistant H. influenzae and M. catarrhalis. Appropriate regimens include: Cefotaxime (100 - 200 mg/kg /day divided every 6 hs) Ceftriaxone (100 mg/kg /day divided every 12 hs)
