Hypochondriac, Having Pain Under Rib Cage Due To Dry Cough. Have Buzzing Sound In Ear Along With Dizziness. Any Remedy?

Hi in the last few weeks I have had a dry cough which in turn lead to a pain in my underside of my left rib cage. I also starting swimming in my local pool around the same time. I now have a ringing/buzzing in my ear, still have the cough and have 2 small dizzy spells as well as feeling uncomfortable. Am I a hypochondriac or are they all related to something. Sleeping as been an issue but is it just an infection that will go away. I also stated a course of 10mg statins 5 months ago. I don't notice the ringing until it is quiet but it is annoying at that stage? any helpful tips

Hello,
You probably have an ear infection with previous chest infection .
You need to consult an ENT specialist and get examined and then need to take antibiotics and decongestant tablets .
The dizziness probably is because of the ear problem and would go away with the antibiotics and decongestants.
Secondly avoid going to the pool if you have respiratory chest infection ie of the chest and nose and ear, the infection could become worse.
In doubt do reply
