I’m really restless and stressed lately, because Dillon is having nose block problem at night and I suspected that he got sinus, which is inherited from me.

I don’t know how it got started but about 2 weeks ago, Dillon was having runny nose and following that, he had nose block problem during sleep time at night. At that time, I thought it was due to his runny nose and I didn’t bother much.

Last week, his nose block got more serious, he couldn’t breathe properly when sleeping at night (he is fine during day time), and he refused to use his mouth to breathe, hence he became cranky and couldn’t sleep well continuously for a few nights. In addition, he kept telling me that there is something inside his nasal and so I brought him to see a GP.

The doctor did a scan inside his nasal and saw that the tissue was swollen inside and this is what cause him nose block. Doctor also suspected that Dillon has got sinus since I’ve got sinus problem. Doctor gave us a bottle of Oxy-Nase spray to relieve the nose block but he said this will be a slow and long process which usually takes 1-2 weeks time before the situation gets better so I have to be patient. He also advised me to look at household hygiene and dust mites issues as in the long run, those are the most important factors to sinus.

After using the nasal spray for 2 nights, Dillon got slightly better but I can still hear his heavy breathing when he is sleeping. I really hope  he is just having the normal nose block and not sinus. At the same time, I’m also praying that Kaith won’t have the same problem.

I will need to do a spring cleaning for their room this weekend, and also look at strengthening their immunity to control / minimize the allergy.
