How can you distinguish between a cold and a sinus infection in babies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sinuses: Sinuses are not developed in children under the age of 2. They can have prolonged cold symptoms. Colds can spread and cause ear infections. Purulent nasal discharge for prolonged length can be treated as well. If you require additional information, feel free to request virtual consult to discuss concerns in more detail.
