Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have been suffering from tinnitus, ear pain, and dizziness for the past 6 months. My MRI results are normal.

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Based on the information you have provided, it is unclear what specific symptoms you are experiencing related to ear rinse, ear pressure, ear pain, and dizziness. Please provide more details about these symptoms, such as when they occur, how severe they are, and any other associated symptoms. This will help me provide more specific advice and recommendations.

In general, however, here are some potential causes of these symptoms:

  1. Ear rinse: If you are experiencing discomfort or pain after rinsing your ears with water or other liquids, this could be a sign of ear canal irritation or infection. Be sure to dry your ears thoroughly after rinsing and avoid using cotton swabs or other objects to clean your ears, as this can push wax and debris further into the ear canal and cause further irritation.
  2. Ear pressure: This could be a sign of ear barotrauma, which occurs when there is a difference in air pressure between the outside of the ear and the middle ear. This can happen during activities like flying, scuba diving, or swimming in deep water. Symptoms may include ear pain, muffled hearing, and a feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear. If you are experiencing these symptoms, be sure to consult with a healthcare provider for advice on how to prevent further barotrauma and manage any related symptoms.
  3. Ear pain: This could be a sign of an ear infection (otitis media), which is caused by bacteria or viruses that have entered the middle ear. Symptoms may include pain, fever, muffled hearing, and discharge from the ear. If you are experiencing these symptoms, be sure to consult with a healthcare provider for advice on how to manage the infection and prevent further complications.
  4. Dizziness: This could be a sign of vertigo or another balance disorder. Symptoms may include spinning sensations, lightheadedness, and nausea. If you are experiencing these symptoms, be sure to consult with a healthcare provider for advice on how to manage the condition and prevent further complications.

Remember that everyone's symptoms are unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. It is always a good idea to consult with an ENT for personalized advice on how to address your specific concerns.

I hope this helps.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
