Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your infant have symptoms of severe cold which seems to be due to upper respiratory tract infection which is leading to sinusitis as well. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid intake of cold liquids. You should take green tea every morning. You should take antibiotic Ciprofloxacin and antihistamine Levocetirizine for 3-4 days. You should give child plenty of fluids to maintain hydration You should give steam inhalation as well. Visit pediatrician once if symptoms keeps on persisting and get blood tests done and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Doctor may prescribe antibacterial medication depending on cause.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
