Is it possible to have a sinus infection without having symptoms of a runny nose?

by Symptom Advice on January 23, 2011

My little boy keeps getting these bad headaches and the doctor said after a ct scan that there was "a little" something going on in the sinus area and he was treated with antibiotics, and was headache free for 2 weeks and now it is back. he has no other symptoms other than the headache. I thought sinus infections would at least have a runny nose with it, or being stuffy.

Your little boy might have other symptoms that you are not aware of. I deal with sinus problems all the time and this time of the year is the worst. Is he complaining of any other discomfort like ears popping or itching, eyes burning or itching? are his eyes red? Does he feel tired or achy? he might be allergic to all the pollen that is out there right now. You did not say where you live but I can tell you if you live in the Atlanta area he is suffering like a lot of us right now. Call his doctors office and ask them what you should do. good luck.

My mother always tells me that everything is linked to the bowels and only about 10% of us have a clean colon.

have you tried a plugin vapouriser they really work well..karvol do one i have one and i wouldnt be without it..

Poor little fella…it sounds like allergies. This time of year and in the fall is the worst for allergens. My daughter has them and we start in Feb. with the nose sprays and Claritin. she is 9 now and we haven't been to the regular doctor for ear/sinus for 2 years now. been so much easier on her and us. the shot situation at the Ear/Nose/Throat was not fun, but that little bit of pain was worth finding out what she was allergic to. she is so much healthier and she knows if she doesn't do her nose sprays she will feel bad because of the allergens. good luck, I would ask your Pediatrician to refer you on to specialist.
