Acute sinusitis (AS) is one of the most common clinical manifestations of acute upper respiratory tract infection. Topical inflammatory therapy is an important component in the treatment of AS. Objective. To assess the efficacy and safety of Cinnabsin, a comprehensive homeopathic drug, in combination with topical decongestants in the treatment of acute sinusitis in children. Patients and methods. This study included 120 AS patients aged between 5 and 13 years. Study participants were divided into two groups (60 patients in each). Patients in Group 1 received xylometazoline and Cinnabsin. Patients in Group 2 received xylometazoline alone. Patients were followed-up for 26 days; during this time, they had 3 visits with a medical researcher. To evaluate the impairments of nasal breathing, we performed active rhinomanometry using the Otopront rhinomanometer. In addition to that, we assessed the transport function of the nasal ciliated epithelium. Conclusion. We found that Cinnabsin in combination with topical decongestants facilitated the recovery of nasal breathing. Key words: acute sinusitis, cinnabsin, nasal breathing, rhinometry
