Suggest Treatment For Constant Headache And Tinnitus

I have had a constant headache daily for over 2months accompanied with ringing in my ears. I have found that the only medicine that works is Oxycodone 20mg taken as soon as I wake each day. If I wait any longer, it takes up to 4hrs. to start feeling relief. I have had a lumbar puncture, an MRI, and a CT so far ordered by my neurologist. I still am waiting for a sonogram of my temples to be scheduled. My dr. will not give me anything to do or take for the pain and I only have 13 pills left. I am horrified at the thought of what I will do on that 14th day. Please help.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of constant headache and tinnitus. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like temporomandibular problem , stress and anxiety , localize change in blood pressure , impacted tooth , hearing loss and infection in ear. Need not to worry. You should put otogesic ear drops and main ear cleanliness. For now apply dry warm compress to TMJ and ear , drink green tea thrice a day and try to make yourself relax . I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination. Doctor will examine like CT scan , vitals , examination with otoscope and rule out TMJ or impacted tooth problems . Doctor may prescribe supplement like ginkgo biloba , anti inflammatory , antibiotics or may refer you to dentist in case of TMJ or impacted tooth problem.

Hope your concern has been resolved .

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
