Suggest Treatment For Tinnitus And Post Nasal Drip

My name is mohamed, in 2012 my condition started having nasal congestion that i first thought it was a flu. That continued and then i developed a post nasal drip at the end of 2012. It was very disturbing to spit saliva every time, i went to a doctor he gave me some antibiotics which did t help to solve my problem. I used nasal irrigation,that also didn t help. At the beginning of 2013 my condition got worse and tinnitus began in my right ear, i hear a constant ringing. In 2014 i met another he suggested nasal wash and told me nothing can be done about the tinnitus, so i have to live with it. What concerns me a lot is that i am a college student and i feel constant pressure on my forehead, and i feel very hard to concentrated on my studies, because constantly i am experience fatigue, brain fog, and pressure. The tinnitus disturbs my sleep and nasal drip as well, so i don t quality sleep during the night. Dear doctor what is your thought about my situation?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

As per your query you have symptoms of tinnitus and post nasal drip. Well the symptoms you mention in query occur due to many reasons :-
- Low blood sugar and iron level
- Some medications like anti-seizure drugs, antidepressants, sedatives and tranquilizers.
- Ear infection .
- Due to some medication .
-Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
- Meniere's disease .
- Migraine .

Sometimes ear infection occur when infection from upper respiratory tract infection , post nasal drip or sinusitis spread through eustachian tube . Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order certain tests like CT scan , blood test , rotatory chair test , posturography and examination with otoscope . Doctor may prescribe antiemetic drug , antibiotics (amoxicillin or penicillin ) at least for 10 days and recommend vestibular therapy . For now do warm saline gargles and take steam twice daily .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
