Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had an ear infection but my ear infection has gone now but very low pitched ringing in my right ear is not stopping.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
The symptom you are experiencing is called tinnitus. Tinnitus is not always due to a sinister cause. Simple conditions of the ear like wax or ear infections both of external ear canal and middle ear can cause it. First and foremost you must know that tinnitus may be aggravated by apprehension and anxiety. You have to make a conscious effort to ignore it. Most of the times, it does not need any treatment. So be assured most likely to be a benign condition. I would like to know the duration of symptoms and whether it is unilateral or bilateral. Are there any symptoms of hearing loss and giddiness? Did you have any earache and prior history of upper respiratory tract infection? you may do a hearing test which will give us further insights. For now, you may just wait and ignore it. It might resolve in a few days.

Hi doctor,
Thank you very much and most appreciated. I feel it is going a bit very very low now. I do hope it will go.

It is good that your symptoms are improving. If it recurs or worsens you may do a PTA.
