sinus infection?

I have a sneaking suspicion that I have a sinus infection. I've been sick since Jan. 14 but was feeling great from Sunday until yesterday. Then, This a.m. I woke up with a bad headache (temples, face), sore throat, plugged ears, and glands so swollen I can hardly turn my head. So I can't tell if it's a new cold or a sinus infection from the previous cold... can any sinus infection veterans give me a diagnosis? Don't worry, I have a dr's appointment later today I'm just curious if it sounds like an infection.
 
Yep, strep throat it is. I haven't had strep since I had my tonsils out 10 yrs ago. I'm on antibiotics for 10 days so hopefully I'll feel better soon.
 
I know when I have a sinus infection because I hack out green stuff in the morning. Sorry... it's gross but to me it's my body's way of telling me I need to see my doctor not just for the sinus infection, but for my allergies and asthma as well.

If you have very swollen glands, it could be something else. Take care of yourself.
