Ive been experiencing this annoying beep noise in my left ear for quite some time now. It gets more noticeable when Im in a quiet place and seems to disappear when theres a lot of noise around me. The doctor mentioned it might be tinnitus and gave me some meds, but they dont seem to be working. Could it really be tinnitus, or might it be something else?

Tinnitus is ringing sound in the ear...it may be due to impacted wax,fluid in the middle ear,acute or chronic otitis media, abnormally patent eustachian tube, minieres disease, otosclerosis,noise trauma, ototoxic drugs etc...it may be due to non otologic conditions like Anaemia, hypertension, hypotension, arteriosclerosis, hypoglycemia,epilepsy,migraine etc...so detailed clinical examination and evaluation needed Consult nearest ent specialist they will do the needful.

I've recently had earwax removed, but since then, I've been feeling a lot of pressure and fullness, especially in my right ear. It feels like I need to put my finger in there and stretch it to get some relief. It's like there's an itch or a constant urge to wiggle the inside of my ear as if it's swollen. My hearing has definitely improved after the wax removal, but this pressure is bothering me, mostly in the right ear and occasionally in the left. I've been using Ciplox ear drops for about a week now. Is this normal? Should I be taking any precautions or consider any other treatment? I'm getting a bit worried about it. Would appreciate your advice.

I'm a bit concerned because it's been about two weeks since I had sinus surgery, and I'm still not seeing much improvement in my symptoms. Is it normal to still be feeling this way? How much longer might it take before I start to feel better?

Condition persisting for 2 weeks after sinus surgery is not uncommon. Recovery time can vary depending on the individual and the extent of the surgery. It is important to follow your doctor's post-operative instructions carefully. To help with the recovery process, you can take pain medication such as Acetaminophen 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain, and use saline nasal spray to keep the nasal passages moist. If you experience any worsening symptoms or concerns, it is important to follow up with your surgeon for further evaluation.

I've been dealing with a runny nose recently, and while that's gotten better, now I've got this weird issue with my throat that seems like an infection. It's causing some pretty bad pain in my ear, especially around the area just behind my last tooth on the right side. I'm really getting worried. Could it be all connected somehow?

It sounds like you may have developed a throat infection which is causing ear pain. I recommend taking an antibiotic like Amoxicillin to treat the infection. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen for pain relief. Gargling with warm salt water several times a day can also help soothe your throat. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
