Suggest Medication For Stuffy Nose And Ringing In Ears
Hi , I m a 33 yr Male and have had a stuffy nose for as long as I can remember, probably about 65% all the time, I have never had the energy it thought I should, and constant ringing in my ears that Im used to. I can sleep throught the night no worries though. I have assumed that the lack of energy was just a motivation thing, I have been checked and are healthy. Is possible that the stuffed nose could be affecting how I feel day to day? Should I bother with an ENT?

Hello,
Since you have a history of ringing in the ears, avoid using ear phones, use it only when very urgent. Get physically examined by an ENT doctor & get an audiometry test done to rule out tinnitus. Tinnitus can be treated with medications. Neglect may result in deafness.
Take steam inhalation for a stuffed nose, you can take decongestants or antihistamines. Get an X-Ray PNS done to rule out sinusitis. Get evaluated, get treated.
Take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
