Sinus infection

My son had two CT scans to check sinuses. But he was having tons of symptoms- constant runny nose, no taste/smell, post nasal cough and days after being on oral antibiotics, the symptoms would return. At age 1 and 3, he has needed PICC lines and surgeries to clear the infection/polyps.

Having said that, we/ve been told that there is rarely a CFer whose sinus CT looks normal. Our ENT doesn't treat the CT scan but treats Aidan's symptoms. We take the radical steps when all others have been exhausted and his symptoms are not controlled. We also do preventative daily nasal washes and steroids.
