Have Congestion In The Ear With Ringing Sound. Took Flonase. What Could Be The Reason For This?

Hi I recently i went on a trip with some friends and I was at my friends cabin. I got in the ear with a water balloon, but the ringing sound eventually went away and I was fine. The day we came back I was really congested and that night my ears were ringing. My doctor said that it is just allergies and gave me Flonase. It has been a week and the intensity of the ringing has gone down but they are still ringing. What do you think I should do?
