what is a sinus infection vs an ear infection?

Question:

I have had symptoms such as a fullness in my ears, dizziness, hurting around my eyes(near my sinuses), and my head hurting? I just wanted to know if you think this is a sinus infection or an ear infection if not please let me know what you think this is? And what the difference between and ear and sinus infection is please?

Answers:
Your sinuses can be stopped up enough to affect your ears, neck and nose. Plus you would experience headaches and maybe dizziness and your equilibrium could be thrown off some. Sinuses can get so infected that you could become nauseated and become dehydrated.

If you have just an ear infection then your sinuses would not be involved at all it would just be ear pain.

If they are infected it may take an antibiotic to clear up the infection.

Sinus Infecton= In your nose

Ear infection= In your ears

a sinus infection is basically allergies. you sneeze, your head hurts between your eyes, you sinuses drain so your throat probably hurts, runny nose...ear infection is different. your ears have too much fluid in them and can cause headaches, dizziness, and redness and pain in the ear. your symptoms sound like an ear infection.
