There is much to be learned about sinusitis in children. The appropriate choice and timing of diagnostic tests, correct type and duration of antibiotic treatment, role of allergy management and adjuvant drugs, and indications for and limits of endoscopic sinus surgery remain to be defined. Technological advances have been introduced and accepted as standard with little validation. Well-thought-out, controlled studies of diagnostic and treatment modalities are needed to address these issues and to better understand the function of the sinuses in health and illness.
关于儿童鼻窦炎仍有许多有待了解之处。诊断测试的恰当选择和时机、抗生素治疗的正确类型和持续时间、过敏管理及辅助药物的作用以及鼻内镜鼻窦手术的适应症和局限性仍有待明确。技术进步已被引入并被当作标准接受，但几乎没有经过验证。需要开展经过深思熟虑的、对照的诊断和治疗方式研究，以解决这些问题，并更好地了解鼻窦在健康和疾病状态下的功能。
