Hi, I wrote here about a week ago.

I'm currently recovering from a supposed "ear infection". Its been a month and a half and I dont see any improvements.

I still feel lightheaded, heavy head, ear pressure, facial tension and heart palpitations.

But Ive also noticed that whenever I have mucus from my nose its pure white, somewhat sticky and dry.

I rarely get mucus in the first place but after the shower is when mucus comes out of my nose, but its not clear whatsoever.

No cough, no fever.

Just sticky white then hardens very quickly. Its been this way for two months now.

Also when I try and blow my nose to clear air just a little bit, i get extremely lightheaded and out of breath. like this pressure in my head

What could be happening to make me feel this way along with the facial pain and ear pressure?

    Have you spoken to your doctor

      yes, he thinks its an ear or sinus infection.

      Ive been prescribed amoxicillin, ear drops, meclizine and Ibropufen.

      It hasnt gone away. But they are sure its nothing dire.

      But my mind and body is saying otherwise, especially since there is no timetable for recovery for this supposed "infection"

      Maybe you should give the medication time to work -they dont work immediately

      what medication though. doctor said my infection is most likely viral which holds no need for medication. He gave me amoxicillin just in case it was bacterial but thats taking an educated guess.
