Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
3 Year Old Child, Suffering From Swollen Right Cheek And Eyelid, Foul Smelling Breath, Nasal Congestion, Fever. Due To Teething?
My 3 year old daughter s right cheek and right eyelid are swollen. The swelling in her cheek seems to be inside as well. Her breath also smells really bad. She is also experiency a lot of nasal congestion . Her temperature at 3:00AM this morning was 101.7 degrees It went back to 98.6 degrees about an hour after giving her motrin. However by 11:00AM it was back up again. Could this be happening because of a new tooth coming in?
Hi ,
Thank you for your query.
Your daughter has acute sinusitis.
She needs paracetamol, a nasal decongestant, an antibiotic, an anti-allergic syrup and vapor inhalation.
She will need an X ray of her sinuses for the diagnosis.
Consult your doctor if the problem persists.
