Symptom control: Children don't have forehead sinuses at this age but the ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses could cause forehead pain. Bacterial sinusitis in kids often has fever, nasal blockage, infected looking drainage, and cough especially at night. Suggest topical nasal decongestant drops, hydrate, humidifier, tylenol (acetaminophen) and/or advil, sudafed, sleep with head up. Sinus infection shows up as cold is starting improve.
