it is not the strongest antibiotic for kids but it is effective for bacterial sinusitis. bacterial sinusitis is uncommon in two year olds since most of their sinuses are immature and undeveloped at this age. statistically most of these toddler "sinus infections" are viral and viruses as you probably know will not respond to any antibiotic no matter how "strong". bacterial sinusitis assuming this is what your two year old actually has can be tricky to treat often requiring longer antibiotic courses or a different type of antibiotic. failure to respond in seven days may necessitate a re-evaluation of this treatment regime. just because he still has thick or colored mucous does not mean that (a) the antibiotic is not helping or (b) the cause is bacterial and not viral. viral infections can cause stagnation of mucous and that alone can result in thick green-yellow mucous. you can't really use snot color as a diagnostic clue (no matter what your mother told you).
how effective is suprax. my 2 yr old son has severe sinus infection. that lead to bacteria sinus infection coughing. etc. pediatrician prescribe 200mg of suprax. he has been taking it for 7 days now. but he is still coughing constantly at night and sneezing in the day time and nose is still running thick mucus. my question is how soon can we see a result this is suppose to be the strongest antibiotic out here for kids.
