Update.. well today is the 10th day off of Singulair for my 6yr old son. He is doing wonderful. One of the issues he has been dealing with over last year was constant sinus infections. Just curious if anyone else out there experienced thick mucus/sinus infections. His got to the point that his adenoids became enlarged from constant infections but even after surgery in Feb his sinus did not seem to drain completely. Well yesterday he finally started having discharge of what seems to be a lining in his sinus(what they saw on cat scan before surgery). He has no cold symptons and I have been giving him mucinex & saline washes to help thin it out but I have been doing this along.. I have been waiting for this to happen for months now! I don't feel its coincidence that its after we stopped the Singulair his sinuses are finally draining (without antibiotics)

Hi, MY 7 year old had chronic sinusitis.She had 2 sinus surgerys and was kept on singuliar as a preventive.When she stopped the singuliar her sinuses cleared,and constant post nasal drip went away.My reason for stopping the singuliar in the first place was because she was having chronic stomach pain/anxiety.The stomach pain stopped,anxiety almost gone and to my surprise her sinuses have never been better.

Something to consider it to take your children off dairy products. Not saying that will cure it but most likely is contributing to the problem. I went off them completely and can now breathe through my nose. Something I haven't been able to do for years.
