Suggest Treatment For Tinnitus
Question: I have some pain at the base of my skull behind my right ear and what almost feels like a head cold. I am having trouble concentrating for long periods of time and the tinnitus in my opposite ear is almost constant (was previously intermittent). I have not had any medication changes recently, nor any changes in supplements that I take. The pain almost seems connected to my ear feeling 'blocked' as part of the head cold symptoms but also feels like I might have slept with my head at a funny angle. I have tried heat on it and already take tylenol for my knee pain.
