Suggest Treatment For Headache , Neck Pain And Tinnitus
Hi, I have been suffering from headaches, neck pain, swollen glands behind the ears, fatigue, and worsened tinnitus. With very bad sinus problems. Swelling and pain in my middle finger joint, which has improved after a round of penicillin. But my sinus problems, headaches, and neck pain have not improved. My last blood work showed that I had an infection (hence the antibiotics) and positive ANA s. My doctor does not seem very concerned and keeps telling me to do steroid nasal sprays, reactine, and nasal irrigation. It has not helped and has been nearly ten months since it started to get bad. I don t know what to do and want to feel well again.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have headache , neck pain and tinnitus. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like meniere's disease , acoustic neuroma , migraine or cervical spondylosis . I would suggest you to take antihistamine and anticholinergic drugs like meclizine and scopolamine. Avoid bending forward and drink green tea with ginger thrice a day . Apply dry warm compresses on ear. You should take oral broad spectrum Antibiotics to treat the infection. Put anti-inflammatory ear drops. You should maintain complete hygiene of ear canal. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined , who may order CT scan , rotatory chair test along with taking history. Start treatment after proper prescription. Doctor may also recommend hearing aid , meniett device , steroid injection or vestibular therapy . Doctor may also prescribe supplement like ginkgo biloba . Do minda relaxing exercises like meditation and yoga , also apply warm compresses to neck.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
