This is an update post on Dillon’s sinus problem.

I finally had to bring him to ENT specialist on the 4th October because his nose block problem got more serious even after using Oxy-nase. I brought him to Pantai Cheras to see Dr. Vivian Fernandez, because this is the nearest to my place, but I was lucky that he is a very good doctor.

Doctor did a check to Dillon’s ear, nose and throat and explained that the swelling of adenoid tissue actually caused the nose block. He gave 2 types of medicine for sinus together with antibiotic and he told me to continue using Oxy-nase.

2 days after taking the medicines, Dillon has recovered almost 80% and he can sleep well throughout the night, it was such a relief to me and my mother-in-law who takes care of him.

On the 10th October, we went back for a follow up check and thank god after a week of medication the adenoid tissue has shrunk. But in order to control the sinus, Dillon will need to continue the sinus medication for the next few months/years, Oxy-nase would only required as and when necessary. Doctor explained that this is an allergy and not sickness, so long term medication is needed until the child had outgrown it. However, the medication dosage can be reduced over time…….

So that’s the situation Dillon as of now, I don’t really like the idea of long term medication. I am thinking to bring Dillon to a Chinese sinsei after he finished his medication for a month or so but in the mean time, I’ll just let him continue the medication.

Thanks for the best wishes you all left in my previous post.
