Brief Answer: Allergies and infections Detailed Answer: Ok XXXXX, I would take this report back to your doctor and get a full course of antibiotics prescribed. But the thing is. I'm not a hundred percent sure this is due to an infection, it could also be an environmental issue or an allergy that is prevalent in the family. Talk to your doctor about these possibilities. I hope this helps. Vinay
