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.
I have an 8yr old that has been having headaches and dizzy spells for 2 weeks now, the headaches are in her temples and hurt like a stabbing pain. We have been to numerous drs and her sinus are clear ears are clear bad am MRI done this week and it all looked good. Tonight she has yellow bloody snot. They thought it was vision or migraines??
Yellow blood stained snot is not unusual in case of a respiratory tract infection and not a cause for concern. But it could be related to sinusitis which in turn could be the cause of the headache that she is suffering. Sinusitis is often hard to treat as they have poor blood supply and hence the medicines cannot properly reach there. Taking steam inhalation should provide relief. Water in form of vapour can reach deep into the sinuses and help in diluting the cough.
There is indeed a possibility that the headache is due to migraine or visual problems. These would not be evident on tests like MRI. Clinical correlation and vision testing is needed.
