What Is The Cause Of Hearing Heartbeat In Infected Ear?

i went to the doctor 12 days ago and she told me i had sinusitis and left ear infection. I have been hearing my heartbeat in my left ear for a couple of weeks now. I figured at first it was because of my sickness, but now that i am better i assumed it would go away. It is intermittent and happens at all times of the day, not just when i am lying down. should i be concerned or is this normal?

Hi,

Sometimes the ear infections will take bit longer to resolve completely even after the symptoms have disappeared. Kindly take frequent steam inhalations to clear off any residual fluid in the ear which is causing the tinnitus. Simultaneously, you can also take Cetirizine tablets one daily to clear your symptoms.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
