My 9 yr old son saw a doctor this past Monday. The doctor said his sinuses were very swollen and clogged. Diagnosis was sinus infection and seasonal allergies. My son was also complaining about stomach pain. Doctor examined abdomen and didn t find anything. It has been almost 5 days and he is so uncomfortable at school. Treatment is amoxicillin and Claritin. Is there anything we can do for the abdominal pain?
ONR has to get a CT scan of the sinuses if you want to be sure about what exactly is inside the sinuses. At the age of 9 sinuses are very well-developed except for maxillary ones.IT looks your son is suffering from infective URI which is swallowed to cause tummy tonsils meaning lymph node enlargement of the abdomen. Any medicines will work with same effectivity for both the conditions. IT is better to get an ultrasonography done of the abdomen to rule out other problems.
