What Causes Recurring Eye Infection And Nasal Blockage?

Good day. I am a very concerned mother - my baby is 11 months old and seems to have recurring eye infection . her nose is ALWAYS either runny or blocked and the drainage from her eyes is yellowish and becomes very crusty. I have been prescribed one upon the other antibiotic ointment but to no avail. I regularly (every 4 to 6 hours) administer a saline nasal spray and nebulize 3x daily with a saline solution in order to keep the mucous loose. Is it possibly allergy related? and is it safe to try an antihistimane suspension such as Desselex or Allergex and in what dosages? she is approximately 13kg - yes a very big, tall girl - just like her Mommy. Thank you so much, Cindy

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi dear, thanks for your query.
your history suggest your child may have allergic rhinitis.
I suggest you to once consult ant ENT specialist to examine the nose for any abnormality as nose blocked may be due to polip, or devited nasal septum.
for allergic rhinitis you may use saline nasal drops with monteleucast 4 mg per day orally.
I find this answer helpful
