Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello. I just read through your question.
It is very unlikely that these episodes are being caused by any treatment for a sinus infection. Though his drug screen was negative, you mention that the symptoms began after the er visit.
It seems that he is either taking a drug that cause psychosis, or having r psychotic episodes due to a real psychiatric illness. In either case he must be seen by a psychiatrist for treatment..
