There isn't much I can do without sitting down with you and your daughter to review her history, and do a thorough ENT exam. However, I think that you may be in the Washington, D.C. area (scary what digital analytics can tell), and if so, you have access to some WONDERFUL pediatric ENT docs at Washington Children's. If you are in that area, and would like a recommendation and referral, please email me and I will be glad to make a call for you to arrange a visit. There are some great docs there! Thanks again for visiting, and for your kind comments. I wish I could see you in my clinic this week! Please email me, and please visit again and continue to share your experience. RF Hi Vkar,

I have a 3 year old girl who has been having sinus infection for the last 3 months, (from end of october 2011). She had greenish yellow mucus most of the time. In the beginning of october, she had put some rice granules and foreign particles in her nose, and they got inflammed and started to have running nose, and ped gave her nasonex for a couple of weeks and she was okay after that. Again end of october, it started again, and ped thought it was some left overs and hence asked us to continue on nasonex. That did not help much and subsequently she had 2 - 10 day doses of augmentin and 1- 10 day dose of amoxicillin. While doing all this, ped advised us to go for x-ray and mentioned to us that x-rays were okay and nothing to be concerned. Next we were advised to go for allergy testing through blood test - which covered food allergy and upper respiratory environmental allergies. Again from these results, ped suggested, that she has low moderate level milk allergy and asked us to stop on dairy products. We stopped on milk and yogurt for a week. but that did not help, so we started giving her yogurt occasionally in minimal amounts as that was the only thing she liked. We hesitated a little in going to ENT as she was okay in summer and had never any issues with the milk or dairy and thought it was the weather. She is in playschool now and they take her out to play for 20 mts in morning and afternoon. I was wondering if the cold weather was the reason she was constantly sick. But now with the nose being runny all the time and she has cough early in the morning for half an hour, we decided to give ENT a shot. But all these 3 months she had fever only once. Yesterday she had mentioned that is is painful in the cheek and jaw area when she opens her mouth like yarning. I am really upset to see her go through this suffering and have poured out everything in your blog to get your advice. Thanks for your time in reading this big post doctor. Vkar Dr. Russell,
