Hello all,
I have had tinnitus for more than 6 years now and have endured 100+ spikes that always went down.
At the beginning of this year my intestines ruptured, and I had to undergo surgery.
After 3 weeks in the hospital, I could go home.
I had been home just for two days when I had to rush to another hospital because 3 kidney stones got stuck in my urinary tract.
Of course, I told the doctors in both hospitals to only give me non ototoxic medications.
In the first hospital I was given:
An antibiotic call Meropenem and painkillers Metamizole and Piritramide.
All the medications are not on any ototoxic medications list.
In the second hospital I was given:
They gave me one dose of Ceftriaxone during the operation.
After the operation I told them that Ceftriaxone is on the ototoxic medications list and that I do not want to take this medication.
So they gave me Unacid which I took many times before without any problems.
After I was done with Unacid, they told me that I should take Nitrofurantoin once a day until my next operation.
All medication that I was given except for that one dosage of Ceftriaxone were not on the ototoxic medications list.
3 days after they placed a urinary drainage, this was 2 weeks ago, I started to get a big tinnitus spike and it has not gone down. I am really starting to worry that all this medication that they pumped into my system damaged my ears.
I am especially worried since the spike started 2 days after the gave me one dosage of Ceftriaxone which is on the ototoxic medications list
Have any of you had a similar experience? What are my chances that this spike will go down?
Do you think this one dosage of Ceftriaxone might have damaged my ears?
I must go back for two more operations and I am scared to take even more meds in addition to the ones I need to currently take.
I am really grateful for your replies!
Best,
Christian
