My child has pain over the eyebrow which gets better after a nap. Why?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My child is 6 years old. He is complaining of pain over the left eyebrow since a month, on and off, thrice a week. He also has on and off nose block. The pain comes around afternoon, 2 to 3 PM and after his routine sleep time of two hours, he is alright. What is the cause of his pain over the left eyebrow?
Please suggest.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It could be sinusitis with allergic rhinitis. Keep the child warm. You may use a vaporizer. Place the vaporizer about a foot away and lie beside your baby. Cover yourself and your baby with a blanket to ensure the vapors stay inside. You may do this for about 30 to 45 minutes or give indirect steam.
Indirect steam is given by holding the baby away from the steamer in a closed room or in a closed bathroom you can sit with the baby on your lap at a distance from the shower and keep a hot shower turned on. Keep the child hydrated, give warm liquids like dals, soups, semiliquid broken wheat.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
