I have been sick for a week now. My whole left side of my face is congested. My left ear has a white noise kind of sound in it, and the left side inside my throat feels like it has a laceration. The issue with my throat just started today. When I cough it feels like the whole left side receives extra pressure. I m thinking it s just a sinus infection, but the last one I had (back at the end of July) was on the right side and not as much of an issue as this round has been. I have attempted to get in to a doctor, but apparently every one around is sick. Does this sound like a sinus infection as I think it is, or could it be basic allergies with esophagus irritation from drainage?
