I don't know what I have, but I am MISERABLE! My head hurts so bad I think I want a drill to a hole in my forhead to drain this yuck out!!! I am blowing my nose so much that my nose hurts and it is green. I have always been told that is a sign of sinus infection. When I go out for a while, my nose burns like I got water from a pool in it. The other day, I had a HORRIBLE
earache. It was so bad I was almost in tears.Then yesterday morning I cleaned out a ton of wax from that same ear and have had no other pains there. I also have stuffed up ears. What do you think this may be? I have been taking sinus meds once a day and it helps with headaches.Sorry if some of this was TMI and that it is so long.

If it's green...you need to be seen (dumb little phrase a nurse at Dr office once said and it stuck!) Green yuckies (what we call it here) is a sign of an infection.

Definitely go to the doctor,,,,,,,if you let it go too long it drains down into your lungs and you end up with horrible bronchitus or pneumonia. I was blowing my nose alot and it was clear,i was confused because i have always heard that clear meant allergies, but i still ended up with a sinus infection, it didn't turn yellow until after i started antibiotics....weird huh?

I was always told if your snot isn't clear then go to the doctor it is an infection! I am prone to sinus infections and get them often, seems like the Z Pack 5 day antibiotic clears it up in no time.
