--Gdaze 21:47, 12 March 2008 (MST) Personal Question for Ed...
So I went into the doc today and they said allergies. They said it was not a sinus infection, most likely, because I don't have a fever, no headache, and my snot was clear.
But I have been stuffed up for more then a week, its hard to swallow at times, and my snot is always clear when I have a cold. It only gets green at the end. Also he even remarked how my ears seem to have fluid (which is no surprise, I can barely hear).
Do you think I might have a sinus infection? Cuz I took some Zyntac and so far it hasn't done a lick of good.
