What causes a ringing sensation in the ears?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have been having ear issues for a few days, starting with my left ear repeatedly repressurizing or kind of popping all night. The next day, I had pretty distressing ear ringing in my right ear, which was made much worse after I took a Tylenol and some drops. I am still dealing with the ringing, but it has improved quite a bit. I have not struggled much with a fullness sensation. Maybe a few times, but massaging helped. Same with pain, it aches sometimes, but not a lot. Most of my issues are in the right ear now. I have a home otoscope-type device and can tell the umbo is yellowish, but my left ear is not. I keep second-guessing myself due to not being in much pain. I am not on any medications.
Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
I am very sorry about your medical condition, and I am glad that you are paying attention to changes in your body system. But do not worry. I am here to take care of you. Regarding your symptoms, I strongly believe you have developed an otitis media caused by a bacterial organism. I suggest you do an ear swab test and revert with the results, and also take the following:
-
Two tablets of Co-Amoxiclav 625 mg orally twice daily for a week.
-
Two tablets of Metronidazole 400 mg orally thrice daily for a week.
-
Topical 0.1 % Chloramphenicol ear drops twice daily for a week.
I hope this information helps you.
Revert in case of queries.
Regards.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
