A 7-year-old girl is brought to the clinic by her mother. The mother claims that the child has had a persistent postnasal drip even during the summer months. She gets repeated episodes of a runny nose. The girl also snores and is unable to smell her favorite food. In the winters, she gets repeated upper respiratory tract infections, which last for two-to-three weeks at a time. The child has had all her immunizations. On examination, you observe that the girl is a little under weight for her age and has a runny nose. The nasal drainage is colorless and stringy. Nasal inspection reveals bilateral nasal polyps and auscultation reveals coarse rales in the chest. The one condition that you would like to rule out in this child is: A. Leukemia B. Cystic fibrosis C. Foreign body aspiration D. Nasal septal deviation E. Allergic rhinitis
