How does a cold develop?
We all know the annoying symptoms of a cold: The nose runs or is blocked and breathing is more difficult than usual. From a medical point of view, a cold is an inflammation of the nasal mucous membrane: The irritated mucous membrane secretes more tenacious mucus and swells. This blocks or runs the nose. The medical term for a cold is rhinitis. A cold is usually triggered by so-called rhinoviruses or common cold viruses. Since there are more than 200 different pathogens that cause colds or runny noses, acute - i.e. temporary - colds occur so frequently. Colds occur all year round. The terms "cold" or "common cold" suggest that the occurrence of colds is related to weather conditions. However, the basis of a cold is an infection, so cold viruses are circulating throughout the year. For example, in the cold season, the transmission of viruses often takes place in heated rooms with dry air, and in summer, for example, in crowds or on planes during holiday trips. Also at the start of school in autumn, an annual increase in infections due to the gathering of many children can be observed.

What is a sinus infection and how does it develop?
A sinus infection (sinusitis) is an inflammation of the mucous membrane in one or more paranasal sinuses. The cause is usually a viral infection. At the same time, the mucous membrane in the nose itself is often inflamed, which corresponds to a runny nose (Latin rhinitis). Therefore, the term rhinosinusitis is also commonly used as an alternative for sinus infection. A sinus infection can occur in one or both sides of the face and affect one or more sinuses. The most common form is an acute sinus infection as a result of a cold. The cold viruses are usually transmitted by smear infections or droplet infections.

What are the symptoms of a sinus infection (sinusitis)?
Symptoms of a sinus infection typically include a blocked nose and headaches: The cold has spread to the paranasal sinuses, which are located in the jaw and forehead area. Typical sinusitis symptoms: obstructed nasal breathing, loss of smell or taste, increased secretion production: initially watery, later tenacious or purulent, headaches and facial pain (around the forehead or eyes), strong pressure sensation when bending down or bending the head deeply, fever and cold symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, hoarseness, sore throat, toothache, earache. All these symptoms are defence reactions of the body. The mucous membranes in the nose are more supplied with blood, swell and produce more tenacious secretion to get rid of the pathogens. However, due to the swelling, the secretion cannot drain. This makes breathing more difficult and the paranasal sinuses are not ventilated.

What are the cold symptoms in children?
Since a cold is just as unpleasant for babies as it is for us adults, you can usually quickly identify the typical cold symptoms: runny nose, increasingly blocked nose, frequent sneezing or urge to sneeze, tingling, scratchy feeling or burning in the nasopharynx, general malaise of the child.

Sinus infection (sinusitis) in children
Older children may also suffer from inflamed paranasal sinuses (sinusitis). Signs include: headaches in the forehead area or around the eyes, pressure pain behind the cheekbones, diffuse headache extending to the back of the head, worsening of the headache when bending down, jumping or immediately after getting up, longer course of illness with poorer general condition and elevated body temperature.
