Is it an ear infection or a sinus infection?!
Question: For the past week I have been very dizzy and lightheaded to the point where I feel like I am going to pass out. I have also had a horrible headache, I can not sleep all the way through the night, and my ears feel clogged. A few minutes ago I was messing with my right ear and it popped and it felt like liquid was draining down it. I'm not sure what it could be or what to do. I know the traditional answer is to go to the doctor. I told my mom and she told me to quit complaining because I just came out of a cast on my foot and I had the flu about a month ago. Any advice would be great. Thanks

It sounds to me like you might have an inner ear infection. I get these a lot, and when you get headaches, dizziness, and the "pass out" feeling, it means the infection is being accompanied by virtigo. this is common after recovering from the flu. try a warm compress on your ears to help them drain. and tell your mom to take you to the doctor.
