Do you have any suggestions on how to ease this until we get his appointment at the childrens hospital? ( have steamed used a saline solution and olbas oil)

Hi.

Noted the history related to your child diagnosed as blocked ethmoid sinuses on CT scan, headache and pain behind eyes and right temple, used antibiotics, sinus sprays, still feeling sick, wants to know how to ease this till get and appointment at Children's Hospital.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Get an appointment with an ENT Surgeon.
Review MRI of sinuses to see the actual status of sinuses, avoid CT as the patient is child hence least possible radiation.
Discuss about role of steroids as per body weight in tapering doses that will clear the allergic sinusitis.
Antihistamine.
Multivitamins, minerals, trace elements the doses will depend upon weight and age of your child.
Get Vitamin A and D done and corrected.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, ENT & General Surgeon
