He has had a very blocked sinuses/noses the last few weeks and although blocked his nose dose not run. This morning he had a small event of just as he says a fizzy Tongue then later at school had a nose bleed. Should I be referring him back to his consultant? He does not take mediation Thank you.

Hello,

His symptoms could be related to a sinus infection. You should know that every infection can trigger seizures. For this reason, the main thing to do is to diagnose and treat the infection at the right time. I would recommend consulting with the pediatrician for a physical exam, a sinus X-ray study and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR). Antibiotics may be needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
