What Causes Sinus Infection With Fluid From Ears And Back Discomfort?

I was seen by md last friday for sinus infection, both ears with fluid and sob chest and back discomfort. She did Neb treatment and a script for Amox 500mg bid. good Sat-Mon and Tues started with fatigue and run down. This am went to work started with sob and upper back pain with breathing. Saw md again, did a Neb tx had relief with back pain but some sob still. She gave me Rocephin and did Cxr that showed a small fluffy area RLL. She wrote another script for Z-pack 500mg qd and told me she was having a radiologist look at the CXR. Im confused, does mean pneumonia or something else?

ENT Specialist 's  Response
You are having eustachian tube blockage due to nasal infection. You should get a xray paranasal sinuses done and tell me did you have any throat infection in the recent past?
Any difficulty in hearing?
