Should I take my kid to the pediatrician

[MSWR0319]

If she has a lot of congestion it could be throwing off her equilibrium. We were very surprised to learn last winter that DS had a raging sinus infection. He never complained about a stuffy nose, never had a fever, but he went in for a CT scan because of a tear duct issue and ended up on abx for the sinus infection that the scan revealed.

I just went to the ENT for what I thought was fluid in my ear that wouldn't clear. After a CT for a lump she found under my ear, she discovered that I had a massive sinus infection in every sinus on the left side. There was no open space at all from front to back on my CT scan. I had no clue. Just thought my allergies were a little aggravated. I'm now on a high dose steroid taper and strong antibiotics for a month. I've suffered sinus issues all my life and thought I knew when I had one. Just goes to show that they can be hard to diagnose.

It it were me I wouldn't worry about it at the moment and see if it resolves. I would tell her to sit down when feeling dizzy.

ok took her to doc, she was given childrens zyrtec for allergy. any better alternatives?

Zyrtec can wire some kids up and make them grouchy and restless. Just keep an eye out if you notice her behavior gets off. If it does, try Claritin.
