A member asked:
My 4 year old is on antibiotics for an ear infection she will finish on the 22, i'm worried she has a sinus infection, during the day she is fine, at night she gets a dry slightly flemmy cough, should she go back in or ride it out ?

Maybe: Most sinus infections in kids will be the same germs as their ear infections. It would be unusual for sinusitis to develop while a kid was on treatment, but it might happen. That might also indicate the ear infection would not be responding.If she's acting sick, re-eval, if stable, ride it out.
