My toddler has sinusitis


For those who don't know what is sinusitis, there is a video done by Khan Academy that explains clearly how it occurs.

What is sinusitis?

My little daughter has coughed since the 20th April. At first, we went to doctor pediatric. She prescribed an anti allergic medicine, which reduced some symptoms. However, the cough didn't stop

At last week, we went to an pediatric Otorhinolaryngologist. She prescribed an anti-inflammatory, but the cough persisted again.

Yesterday our daughter did some exams : X-ray of lungs and blood test. It is really difficult to convince a toddler to do this exams. She was afraid and cried a lot.

The technician that did the x-Ray didn't know anything about child psychology and terrified our daughter. My wife was obliged to deny what the technician was telling to my daughter. Actually, she said that she would apply a big injection if my daughter didn't stay calm and stop moving. She didn't realize that my daughter was two years old. The x-Ray was done when a second technician tried.
X-Ray results were pretty good, no secretion, but leucocytes in blood sample were in high level .

Therefore, the diagnosis was sinusitis.
It is bad to a toddler. The nose secretion goes straight to throat when she is sleeping, causing cough at the end of night.

For now, the doctor prescribed an antibiotic. She will take it for 10 days, twice a day, plus an medication anti inflammatory used in phytotherapy to improve body immunity.
