Question 1

My son has had a runny nose for about 5 weeks now. Should I worry?

Accepted Answer

If a runny nose or a slight cough are present when behavior worsens, I then assume these symptoms represent an underlying sinus infection.  The symptoms will usually greatly improve after a few days of fluticasone nasal spray. On occasion, antibiotics are required to clear the symptoms.  Once cleared, the behaviors will improve.
