   Allergy or sinus infection? (Allergies board)

4th May 2005
Hi everyone i have had a few problems the past couple of weeks that i have gone to the doctor for but i would like a second opinion because she didnt check everything. About 2 1/2 weeks ago i woke up one morning out of the blue and had the worst puffy eyes ever ide never seen anything like it but i just thought i was having a bad day with my allergies and let it slide but since then i wake up every morning to the same thing except now its to the point where they stay this way all day and when i wake up until ive showered and taken my medicine i cant see. And my nose has been severly stuffed up lately, to where only when i lay down i cannot breathe, which makes sleeping at night very difficult and when i try to blow it out nothing comes out but i have gotten some out that has been clear with streaks of blood. And my right ear the other day i was on the phone and i started having pains inside my ear, so i just sort of layed on it and put the phone to my other ear in hopes that it would go away..well it did and then a few mins later my neck hurt very badly so i felt it and theres a huge lump there, and if i push it the inside of my ear itches so i know its connected ot my ear somehow but i cant turn my head to either side, and yawning and laughing is vry painful and even swallowing and i just dont know what it is. My doctor prescribed drops for my eyes, which so far have done nothing, and they are allergy drops and im already on clarinex. She neglected to look up my nose yesterday so she didnt know about the stuffyness and the blood but everything else she said looked alright but i should go to my ear nose and throat doctor to have him look some more but unfortunatly hes booked solid. And also ive been so sleepy lately i wont be able to fall asleep at night until anywhere between 2-4 but then i will sleep until about 2 or 3 in the afternoon and still feel tired, its like i can never get enough sleep. So basically what i would like to know is do you all think this is allergies or a sinus infection, or maybe even something else perhaps. Sorry this is so long but thank you for reading and any help is much appreciated since i am in a little pain right now (from my neck) and just feeling like im in a fog. I am only 17 i want to go out and have fun like i always did, not lay in bed all day :( thanks again everyone
