Hello and welcome to HCM,
Constant headache after getting up in morning and in the frontal region is suggestive of frontal sinusitis.
Frontal sinusitis refers to infection and inflammation of the frontal sinus.
Sinusitis is treated with antibiotics.
Ringing in both ears is also due to involvement of ears.
Ringing is also called tinnitus and can occur due to trauma to ears, drugs, toxins, or high blood pressure.
You need to consult an ENT specialist for clinical assessment of the ear, relevant investigations and thus management.
Thanks and take care
