Question
Hi there,
The are a couple of ways that I can think off on the top of my head:
1. Avoid the injection if possible i.e. consider oral medication where available
2. Use the smallest needle possible
3. Consider using a topical anaesthetic agent such as Emla cream
4. Ask an experienced practitioner to do the injection
5. Progressively infiltrate with local anaesthetic while doing the injection
Hope this helps.

Yes, I agree with Dr. Justin Boey's opinion on clarifying what your provider means by "needleless" Rejuran/PDRN/PN treatment. If it is done using a "needle-less" treatment device such as Enerjet, which is still able to deliver compounds into the skin (intradermal) using jet volumetric remodelling (JVR) technology, this is probably effective. However, do note that most clinical studies involving Rejuran/PDRN for skin rejuvenation and wound healing properties demonstrated efficacy for injected PDRN (1).
True sinusitis or sinus infections are not that common in children actually as the sinuses are not fully developed until late teen years. The sinuses are normally air-filled spaces in the skull. Children with sinus infections may present with a “cold” lasting for 10-14 days, with yellow nasal secretions, pain over the cheeks or between the eyes, fever and blocked nose. I find that a course of antibiotics such as Augmentin is usually quite effective in the treatment of sinusitis, together with a nasal steroid spray and saline nasal wash.
