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.

Mother's Day and final match of Rio de Janeiro's Soccer Championship

For today, I ordered a breakfast basket to be delivered early at morning. It was a great surprise to my wife. I and my daughter gave the basket together with a card. Regarding the gift itself , we gave it in advance during the week. It was a blazer.
At lunch, I prepared myself our special meal of Mother's Day. We had salmon covered with toasted garlic and fettuccine with pesto sauce. Everybody liked it. My daughter repeated the salmon more then once.
During the afternoon, we put some painting stuffs at our terrace and stayed painting with our daughter on canvas and paper. Actually, she painted at our bodies as well.
It was really amazing. We had a great time and funny day.
At the end of afternoon, we watched on television the final match of Rio de Janeiro's Soccer Championship. I was trying to motivate my daughter to cheer to Botafogo.
The match was between Botafogo and Vasco. Botafogo made the first goal, but Vasco made one goal just a little bit later. The match broke even. And, as Vasco had won the previous game, it won the championship
At least, my daughter saw Botafogo's goal. She is lucky. When she was watching the game, Botafogo made a goal. After the goal, my wife took her to have a shower. She loved when I commemorated screaming. She is learning to cheer. I hope she will cheer to Botafogo.
Despite Botafogo's loss of the title, it was a great day.
