My daughter has had a runny nose since Christmas. She did have a bad rumbly cough too. I just assumed it was a cold. During half term I finally took her to the doctor who diagnosed a chest infection. So we had a week of amoxicillin and both cough and cold cleared up.
Then the runny nose began to reappear. Thick green or yellow or white mucus. It is never ending. There is no cough, no temp. It's relentless snot! I've tried all sorts .... anti histamines make no difference. We don't have the radiators on any more as I thought it might be a reaction to those. Any ideas? We went to the doc a couple of weeks ago who suggested the reappearance of snot was just viral. But it's still here and no better.
Not sure if it's sinusitis. She doesn't have a headache. She is a sensible 8 years old so I can ask her and she tells the truth. We've never had any problems like this before.
I have a doc appt tomorrow. What do you suggest I ask? Can they do a bacterial test on the mucus?
She's lost weight and it's affecting her sleep. Any great ideas?
