Patient: Hi Doctor...I am 28 years woman..I have a problem of sneezing i sneez alot due to little change in weather my right nose is blocked not clear...doctor said its a sinus problem due to which i sneez alot..MY question is we are planning a baby if i got pregnant does it effect my child?? Doctor: Hi Dear,Welcome to HCM.Well the symptoms you mention in query are due to sinusitis ( as you also mention ) . Sinusitis is infection in the sinuses in which linning if the sinus become inflamed and produce mucus . As you mention that you are planning for a child . I would suggest you to first of all consult ENT specialist for proper treatment of sinusitis , because it may not effect your baby directly but as infection will lower your immunity hence also lower the immunity of child and baby become disease prone . Some times the infection spread to blood and through blood it may transfer in to your baby and cause problem . So it is better to go for proper treatment . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics (amoxicillin) for at least 10 days , decongestants and anti histamines .Hope your concern has been resolved.Best wishes,Dr. Harry
