Severe Worsening of Tinnitus and Ear Pain After Starting Nasal Steroid Spray for Suspected ETD

Cause of Tinnitus
suspected etd
Hi. I started a nasal steroid spray just over a week ago for suspected ETD. I have had tinnitus and other symptoms for three weeks. The nasal spray seems to be making the tinnitus much worse. It also causes earache and some popping and twitching. The popping and twitching have settled, but the tinnitus and earache have not.

I am really struggling to get through each day. I am exhausted, unable to sleep or eat. Is this a normal reaction? Is it a sign that the spray is working? Any help at all would be appreciated before I lose my mind. Thank you.
