Ear troubles! Am I going crazy?

think I must be going crazy.  After having throat/ear issues for over a month, I went to the doctor 10 days ago.  He said I had a ton of fluid behind my ears and there was inflammation.  He also said that my right ear drum looked really dull.  He thinks my issues are being caused by a sinus infection.  I've been taking Nasonex and antibiotics for 11 days and am still having problems.  Here is where I think it gets weird.  My ear bothers me when I go outside even for just a few minutes.  It's like when I leave work and get in my car it seems like the heat makes my ear ache.  It's also during that time I can feel the fluid in my ear.  My right ear and the right side of my throat are what's giving me the most trouble, even the right side of my face/jaw.  Even my right eye will sometimes ache a bit and the right side of my throat feels a tad swollen.  Also, I was upset a couple times recently and if I start to cry, I can feel the fluid in my ear and it will make my right ear and right side of my throat ache.  Please, someone answer this.  I'm freaking out!

If you can get in to see an ENT specialist that would be good. Maybe see how you feel on Monday. I hope it's better by then. Remar

No, just been to my primary care physician.  I went to the doctors office Friday, however they were super crowded so I had to leave to go to work.  It feels some better today but still not like it should be.  Only have 1 more day of antibioics left.  It just seems like one thing after another for me right now.  Oh well, thanks for your input!

Are you seeing an ENT specialist? Nasonex is for allergies but it sounds like you may need something to dry you up also.  Remar
