male, healthy, 46 years old.
Aug 19: hit in the face accidentally by bro-in-law's hand that slipped when we were moving a tree limb. I thought my nose was broken it hurt so much.
Aug 20 or 21: got water in my ear while snorkeiing in the lake, probably shook head to loosen it.
Aug 24: was out of town, so I went to a walk in clinic, as have had a ringing in my ear, ever since i felt the water in it. Feels like the water is still in there. Constant ringing. Given a nasal spray and Advil cold and sinus and a prescription for anti-biotics if symptoms persist after a few days.
Filled the prescription the next day Aug 25, as ringing is still constant.
Aug 29, chills, malaise, have not felt great.
Aug 30, chills, flu like symptoms in afternoon. Nausea and vomiting after getting up from resting.
Aug 31, E.R. in the am, as my family Doctor is on vacation. Told to stop the anti-biotics and given Clarithromycin take 1 tablet twice daily for 7 days.
Sept 1 afternoon, ringing is still in ear, came off of boat from fishing with the kids with a full body rash.
Back to E.R. that evening, and the wait was too long so I left. Rash is dying down and other than the ringing I don't feel that bad, but I think I should stop taking these pills.
