Hi,
Thanks for the query.

I have read your query and understand your concern.

After reading your clinical history it appears that you are most probably having
tinnitus . In your case tinnitus is due sinus infection resulting into right ear eustachian tube blockage .

If I were your treating Doctor for this case , I would advice
Steam Inhalation twice daily,
Saline nasal rinse or spray thrice daily ,
Tab Paracetamol thrice daily to decrease eustachian tube inflammation &
Antihistaminic Fexofenadine like Tab Allegra at night .

You will get relief .

Hope this information helpful to you .If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
