How Can Tinnitus And Ear Congestion Be Treated?

I went to my doctor thinking that I had wax build up because I woke up one day and suddenly couldn’t hear from my left ear. I have suffered from wax blockage before and it felt pretty similar. Noises sounded muffled and there was a ringing in my ear so I just assumed it was the same thing. My doctor said there was no blockage or infection, neither was their inflammation. She did say that it was cloudy and prescribed me anabiotics. I was supposed to take the anabiotics for a week so I did, but nothing has changed. What do I do?

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of tinnitus and ear congestion which could be due to very loud noise , meniere's disease, and wax build up in ear. I would suggest you to do meditation and light physical exercise, do valsalva maneuver and consult ENT specialist for proper examination. You should get it examined immediately to prevent further exaggeration of symptoms. Doctor may order CT scan , blood test , examination with otoscope . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics amoxicillin or penicillin, anti inflammatory medications. Supplement like ginkgo biloba can be very helpful. Do warm compresses.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
