Chloe's Sinus Infection

Chloe went to the doctors today and she has a sinus infection so she's on Zithromax. We caught it early enough so I am hoping she'll be fine.

A sinus infection is an inflammation of the sinuses and nasal passages. It is very important to watch out for certain signs that your child may be developing a sinus infection. Your child can have any one of these symptoms.

Headache
Pressure around the eyes, nose check area or on one side of the head
Cough
Fever
Bad Breath
Nasal Congestion w/thick nasal secretions
Soar Throat

Always make sure to call your child's doctor for an appointment if your child is not feeling well. Especially if you think they have some type of infection or has a fever.
