Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

1. The symptoms point towards a sinusitis.The headache, ringing in the ears (eustachian tube dysfunction) seeing black spots, nausea (post nasal drip), nose bleeds (dryness/infection).

2. Get his ears examined and get his audiometry tests (pure tone and impedance) done. A plain Sinus CT will be required. He is old enough to allow a nasal endoscopy. An eye check-up and blood (to look for clotting problems/ infection) tests are recommended.

3. If the nasal bleed is minimal, saline nasal drops and medication for the sinusitis will be adequate. You will require a prescription form a local doctor. Direct examination will help rule out rare causes.

4. You may follow up with these test results here.

I hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be available to answer them.

Regards.
