Question: YYYY@YYYY several months ago use drops to clean out earns (live in AZ) the rt ear seem to clog so I washed them out in shower with too warm of water. I had some buzzing behind my right ear that wouldn't go away. Went away completely twice but just for aprox 1 day then came back. Went to my local doctor and he said rt ear needed cleaning so they washed it out. Still got buzzing. Went back he said I had infection. Gave me Ciprofloxacin 500mg. Took that along with some drops but still had buzzing. Talked to a doctor not ENT online he said no tinnitus it is probably viral and needs to heal use garlic drops and be patient. I used garlic drops for 4 days straight but the buzzing is still there and I don't know whether to just not do anything and wait or use the drops. I don't really have pain but can feel some discomfort in the ears once in awhile. The buzzing sound is greatly down when using meclizine hci. I am thinking this happened because of the ear drum getting burned a little not infection?? The second doctor said I don't need a specialist just be patient and it will go away. But the buzzing has been going on for over a month and seems to be just behind rt ear (which is the one that was cleaned out by my doctor) seem to have fairly normal hearing in both ears. I am in my 60's and in good shape.

I have had no ear discharge. No history of nasal blockage never had throat or ear infections ever. I have used flonase and a sinus wash since this happened but really have had no sinus issue to speak of - I have high blood pressure so use sinus buster and no decongestants since moving to Arizona.

Some other info - when sleeping I get less noise when sleeping with right ear on pillow or right ear down. I did run a lot more warm water into my right ear when this first happened. The right ear does seem to be the problem. I have done a lot of Tinnitus researching on line no real cure but since this might be water related will a ear popper or something of that nature work? Trying holding nose blowing out so on - sinus wash -

I have high blood pressure would it be ok to take nasal spray and take an oral decongestant too like a combination of levocetrizine plus phenylepherine twice daily for a week. One week might not hurt is that what you suggest thanks again. XXXX
