My two year old has had blocked nasal passages for months. He's been treated for sinus infection 3 times in 4-5 months. He rarely gets any relief. I am using Ocean spray two times a day, use Vick rub at night with a vaporizer. I have tried Rhinocort and also daily Claritin (per dr. direction). I've noticed no difference (have since stopped). His nose is not runny and he's not sneezy. It's just blocked. He sleeps fine, isn't running fever, seems happy and unbothered. I, on the other hand, am frustrated and feel somewhat helpless. I can't figure out the cause or give him any relief. Where do I go next, an ENT or Allergist? I should mention that I've read quite a lot about how to reduce allergens around the house ... which I've done. I even tried eliminating milk. Nothing has changed. I have recently been diagnosed with a rare auto-immune vasulitis which started with simple nasal congestion. I'm slighly panicked and need someone to slap some sense into me.
Thanks.
