How Can Sinusitis And Ear Blockage In An Infant Be Treated?
My 6 month old grandson has mucus coming out of his ears, he has had a sinus infection and is getting over it but still has the mucus forming from the ears His Pediatrician says it is from a blockage in his nasal passages and that it has not effected his ear drum. Should we be more concerned?
