2-year-old suspected sinus infection

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
My 2yo has been coughing for over a month now, mostly just when he wakes up. Actually, I don't know how long it's lasted, probably at least two months. He has foul breath, especially in the morning, and his nose is runny sporadically. I'm suspecting a fungal infection in his sinuses. I have been struggling off and on with a sinus infection, myself, and I assume I gave it to him.
I've kept mine under control with a colloidal silver nose spray. That stuff is awesome. But he will NOT let me spray his nose. Even when I try to do it while he's asleep, I'm lucky to be able to get one little squirt in one nostril. He wakes up, screams, splutters, etc. It hasn't been effective!

I have him on a multi vitamin and an extra Vitamin D, (since we've been cooped up all winter.) I've been trying some grapefruitseed extract in juice every day, for a couple weeks, but that doesn't seem to be helping at all.

Any ideas on how to knock this thing out? It's so tricky treating little ones.
