My son is seven years old and has had a cough and sinus issues for what feels like forever. When I was younger, I had rhinitis and my husband has had sinus issues, two lots of surgery and postnasal drip.
My son is not unwell in himself never has a temperature and the cough doesn’t seem to bother him. It seems like he is constantly snorting to get the snot out of his sinuses and then coughing every time he eats it gets worse the cough is so harsh and although it may not be bothering him, I am finding it very annoying as it’s constant. I have tried antihistamines every day which have made no difference. We have tried various cough medicine. I took him to the GP who didn’t even look at him or examine him or look up his nose or in his throat and gave us a steroid nasal spray. I did use it for a bit, but it did nothing and I have started using it again whilst awaiting a referral to ENT consultant we have decided to go privately and are just waiting an appointment which will hopefully be soon.
I wonder if anyone else has had the same issues I am wondering if it is a habit thing or if given our history it is a real thing any tips and advice or welcome! Thanks!
