Does this sound like a sinus infection?
D has had what started as a cold almost two weeks ago. Not it is thick greenish slime  He doesnt have a fever and is draining but I feel like it is never ending. This poor kid has been on antibiotics so much that I am trying to ride this one out.
Should I wait it out or bring him back to the ped. for antibiotics? Anything I can at home that can help clear him out? Maybe i'll pick up the saline spray.

Re: Does this sound like a sinus infection?
Ugh! Tyler has had a runny nose for the last week and it's nonstop. But it's clear so I'm pretty sure he's getting a tooth in (I can see it right there)
Maybe wait it out over the weekend and see how he is on Monday (given he doesn't get a fever)
Is he having a hard time breathing or sleeping?
Can you use a cool mist humidifier for something like this?

He ALWAYS sounds congested and breathes heavy. I feel so bad for him. I brought him to get allergy tested thinking he had bad allergies but nothing showed up. His adenoids are not super big either so that's not the problem.

Re: Does this sound like a sinus infection?
Tyler was put on XYZAL (I think that's it) because he was constantly getting ear infections and had a constant cold. My ped said it was allergies, and that def. helped him. I have a script that I didn't get filled bc he was better, I'm wondering if I should start giving that to him again. My ped said to use it through the winter.
Sorry, I don't know how the heck I made this post about my son.

I might need to do the same for Derek. This is crazy. TJ has allergies for sure. The allergy specialist told us to clean our house top to bottom and get rid of our animals
