Ear Pain

[Annmarie]

Hi I am new to this forum I have had tinnitus for about a year now , just woke up one morning and could not hear and had this really bad pain in my ear . I went to the hospital ENT had test head scan all came back clear the consultant said it may be Labyrinthitis he wasn't sure and said take paracetamol for the pain.
I am taking pain killers daily but nothing eases the pain, I have been to see my GP about the pain but they were not really interested, is there anyone who could recommend anything to ease the pain please

A warm welcome to Tinnitus Talk.
Paracetamol can be taken with nitrogen or orther anti inflammatory medication.
Try a water bottle.
Are you having any other symptoms as labyrinthitus comes with more symptoms and the main ones are sickness and vertigo ?
You may have got a infection brewing and would be worth getting your ears checked also .....lots of love glynis

Hi Glynis thank you I will try anti-inflammatory medication tomorrow, all my GP says it's the tinnitus that's giving me the pain, it's like a build up of pressure that becomes so painful,
Really thank you for your advice
Take care
