Suggest Medication For Sinusitis,bed Wetting And Sleeplessness

My daughter is 6 years old and last winter was having issues with having many +strep tests and tons of sinus issues, wetting the bed, snoring, resless sleeper, woke up alot during the night. She is followed by ENT at which time the spring was approaching and he wanted to wait to see if things got better. She continues to be a strep carrier but all her s/s improved drastically. Ather last appointment a few months ago the adnoids were still very large but was having no s/s so surgery was held off. For the last few weeks she has stated to have a chronic stuffy nose and a lot of thick white to greyish color nasal discharge. It is so thick that sometimes she can not blow it out and requires to use a netty pot to clear it out. However she has no fevers or other complaints. Can this stiffy nose and thick discharge be related to adnoids? and if so will she out grow this as the adnoids shrink? When will the adnoids begin to shrink?

its a common problem in pre school and early school going children. The adenoid usually shrinks at 8-10 yrs of age however somtimes it doesn't and needs surgical removal. If there is any respiratory compromise, it can be excised early too.
In your case, there may be a blockage in the sinus drainage and it can be due to adenoid hyperplasia(over growth) . It will be recurrent whenever there is a swelling of tonsils.
Antibiotics can be given for 7 days and juat observ for 2-3 yrs more. If the frequency is more then you can opt for adenectomy. nasal drop and hot water gargle with some salt and no cold items should be consumed.
