Has anyone ever experienced a toddler with a runny nose that has never stopped for almost two years?
DS struggles to sleep with it we've tried antihistamines and nasal irrigation and nothing works. Reduced his milk and changed his diet too. this begun in December 2021 just after his MMR vaccines he contracted what seemed to be a viral infection at the time. He was prescribed antibiotics and completed full course but the nose was running with thick mucus. His appetite changed and now has extreme food aversions and sensory issues and speech delay. Please note he was eating and talking fine before this. He was developing perfectly well. I understand regression can occur however very little improvement to his development since this all begun when he just turned 1 and he's now turning 3.
ENT said to use saline spray. Have done for the longest time. No checks nothing. Disappointed in the lack of support from the Gp and ENT specialists who simply say it's just a runny nose. It's not, not a day has gone by where he had a clear nose since December 21.
can't find anything anywhere of anyone in a similar situation! Would be great if someone can share their experience or even let me know if this will ever stop or develop into something more since I believe this is impacting his behaviour too.
