sinus infection baby symptoms
Symptoms of a sinus infection in baby? Im making a doctor's appointment for Liv for tomorrow. For the past few days, shes been stuffy and had a runny nose (clear) and watery eyes and a very mild cough. I figured it was a cold and was letting it run its course.
The usual culprit is a viral infection (colds) or even an allergy. If it has only been 5-7 days of sickness, then your baby may just have a cold. A sinus infection is accompanied by several symptoms, including: â¢ coldâ symptoms (runny nose, cough) that last more than 10-14 days.
Younger kids often have cold-like symptoms, including a stuffy or runny nose and slight fever. If your child develops a fever 5-7 days after cold symptoms begin, it could signal sinusitis or another infection (like bronchitis, pneumonia, or an ear infection), so call your doctor. Many parents mistake cold-related headaches in young kids for sinus infections. But the sinuses in the forehead don't start developing until kids are 6 or 7 years old and aren't formed enough to get infected until the early teen years. So headaches in kids who have colds usually aren't sinus infections. In older kids and teens, the most common sinusitis symptoms are a cough that doesn't improve after the first 7 days of cold symptoms, fever, worsening congestion, foul breath, dental pain, ear pain, or tenderness in the face.
