Moxie Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I'm currently on antibiotics for a cold that turned into an ear infection. Yesterday, DS6 woke up with his eyes matted shut but I didn't have time to get him to the doctor. Today, his eyes look better (not red or goopey) but he has a stuffy nose and dark circles under his eyes. Poor kid looks like he lost a boxing match. He acts normal except for the stuffy nose. No fever. Is this just a cold or is it a sinus infection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 If the snot is green or he is running a fever, I'd take him and get him checked for an infection. It's a Friday which means I'd be more likely to take him also, so I didn't have to worry about taking him in on a weekend. I hope he feels better!

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I'd give him guaiafenisen (Tussin syrup) to keep things draining. I personally wouldn't take him in to the doctor but our ped's office is open on the weekends with a weekend doctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
