Hello. A Google search tells me that "pari sinus" is a nebulizer machine for your sinuses and does what most nebulizers do: makes the mucous less thick and easier to cough up or blow out the nose in your son's case. It uses saline solution as well as medication if prescribed by your son's doctor. If you don't want to use antibiotics, then saline solution by itself can help loosen the mucous and help him get it out more easier. However, if your son has thick yellow or green mucous in his sinuses, I'd strongly suggest talking to your doctor about it as it can be a sign of an infection and will usually require some type of medication. Best wishes to you and your son.

This is something only a specialist can answer. If I were you I would share these concerns with your doctor and insist your son be referred to a Pulmonary specialist.

Hello,

We have some useful information on our PCD Family Support Group UK website, regarding helping your child with keeping the nasal passages a bit clearer. These include teaching your child how to blow his nose properly, this should be attempted at least twice a day. Due to the lack of properly working cilia, the nose will generally be blocked for a lot of the day, but blowing it and also using a saline nasal rinse, such a Neil Med Sinus Wash daily, will usually help. I use the Neil Med in the evening which then helps me get a sound night's sleep, others use it at other times of the day, experiment to see which works best for your son.

Here is the link to the website, regarding nasal issues in PCD.
