How can I tell if I have a sinus infection or ear infection at home?!
Question: My nose is stuffed and runny, and the mucus comeing out of my nose is a light greenish color, but still green enough to tell it is green, the roof of my mouth itches as do the insides of my ears (like all the way in) and at random times I feel a sharp pain in one of my ears (they kind of switch off) Thanks

You may have both acute sinusitis and otitis media. But the only way to know for sure is to see your doctor and be diagnosed. Don't buy an otoscope. It takes training to learn to use it and correctly interpret what you're seeing. You have to know what a normal eardurm looks like and what the abnormalities signify.
Get a home otoscope. Learn how to use it (someone else will need to check your ears). If you see a swollen RED balloon type tissue then your ear is infected. If this is the case go to the doctor for some Amoxicillin or the like.
Sounds like Sinusitis to me. Try OC (over the counter) Zicam which swabs into your nose for some relief.
Do you also have a headache on one side?
Tearing?
The green mucus,is most likely,due to a sinus infection.
See a doctor,soon and sooner.
Don't worry,they will give you a potent pain-killer,and some anti-biotics.
I've notice a prevalancy in people with exact condition.
I bought Polysporin for my ear's as soon as they started acting up.
The membrain's are all connected.
The worst is when your nose drain's to your chest. Eat apple's. Ear-drop's help allot. Gargle with salt and water. Or see G.P.Like the 1st answer , there are allot of people with sinitis
