Sure - an ear infection can spread to the sinuses.

An infection spreading I can understand -- But how about the case where the
actual infection/inflamation is mainly in the ears, but some of the
symptoms are head/ sinus pressure (deep in the head or forehead area)
and/or a spacy feeling? Is that reasonable?

Thx.

Andrew

Sure but sinus pressure *is* infection or inflammation (unless it is not even
sinus related - e.g. migraine).

The term "sinus pressure" is used in television ads but it does not actually
mean anything specfic medically

It is a symptim and of course we really need to know is the cause.

That is the way doctors think - they do not even care much about symptoms, when
there are tools that will show them the underlying cause.

Deep in the forehead head would be the frontal sinus if it were sinus. Maybe
ethmoid.

A CT scan and endoscopic exam will tell the story. But first, why not see and
ENT specialist and see what he/she thinks/suggests.

Hello,
On which side of the eardrum is the infection/inflamation?
Is the eardrum perforated, or still intact?

My guess is the infection/inflamation is on the outside
of the eardrum and the eardrum is still intact, so i would
say use the swimmers' ear drops found at the drugstore to
loosen the wax so as to let out the fungus hiding behind it.
Then use the alcohol/peroxide mix in the ears to kill the
fungus. Use the ?mix? until the "smoke" stops coming out
of the ears, or until the hissing sound in the ears stops. Use it
several times a day until all of the above stops. Then Vit.E
dropped into the ear will make it very healthy and feel good.

The ?swimmers? ear? solution is glycerin and alcohol, so if
you have such you can make your own, or the peroxide/alcohol
?mix? will also do the job, however you will probably need
to use a tiny Bobbie pin to hook and scrape/pull out the hard
wax and that, of course, is dangerous if the cat and the dog
are on the bed where you are sitting doing your ears, or the
kids are having a pillow fight.
