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.
Hi, My 3 year old has a dry stuffy nose with dried blood in it every day now. I have been noticing this for more than 2 weeks. At first, everybody said it could be just allergies. But this morning, the mucus was a bit slimy (i don t know how else to put it). he doesn t complain of any pains but he does have trouble breathing because of the stuffiness. And breathes with a hard sound even when he is awake. what could this mean?
the most common cause of this condition is allergic rhinosinusitis , this mucous will turn into green in few days , and the post nasal drip will some times make him cough , the blood is because of the irritation of the mucous membranes . he is breathing difficulty because of the obstruction made by mucous plugs . since he has no fever, and no persistant dry cough there is no worries but something is needed to be excluded first , many children stuff their noses with any object the can find, so the possibility of foreign body stuck in the nose is there. so I recommend visiting you doctor to examin his nostrils . you can use nasal steroid sprays , it's very effective, you can use flixinase nasal spray twice a day, and zyrtic syrup will improve his condition .
