I'm a 17 year-old male, moderately
healthy. I've been having what I describe
as a "funny feeling" in my head since the
beginning of november/end of october.
It's not a painful headache, it just feels
like the left side of my head (temple,
close to ear) is clogged/stuffy. It's not
painful, just annoying, and it seems to
come and go at randomn times throughout
the day. Then, in the end of November I
started getting a really stuffy nose and I
went to the doctor and am now just about
done with my antibiotic for sinus
infection-augmentin. Do you think that
this head thing is sinus and was leading
up to the nose thing? My left ear has
been clogged as well, and I'm just
wondering if it's all related. I've
noticed that I seem to sometimes stare off
and forget what I'm thinking about, but I
think that it might have been just a
normal thing that I always did and never
noticed, but I just want some answers!!!!!
I'm one of those people that panics at
things that usually don't mean anything,
but someone please give me an opinion!!!
Do you think it's stress, I mean I've just
finished my college applications and I
haven't been getting much sleep lately,
but this has been ongoing since the
beginning of november, and now it's
december 7th!!!! Any help/advice would be
great, thanks!!!!

When we complain of a stuffy nose, it may
mean that our sinuses are congested.
Sinusitis is when the lining of the
sinuses becomes infected or inflamed.
Sinusitis may follow different conditions
like common cold, flu, other infections,
allergies, violent sneezing or nose
blowing, etc.
Have you been described decongestants,
too?
Do you feel facial pain?
Do you have sensation of mucous or liquid
buildup in the back of the throat?
