Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have headaches in the occipital region along with tinnitus . The symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards a condition like meniere's disease . I would suggest you to take antihistamine and anticholinergic drugs like meclizine and scopolamine. Avoid bending forward and drink green tea with ginger thrice a day . Apply dry warm compresses on ear. You should take oral broad spectrum Antibiotics to treat the infection. Put anti-inflammatory ear drops. You should maintain complete hygiene of ear canal. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined to rule out other conditions , who may order CT scan , rotatory chair test along with taking history. Start treatment after proper prescription. Doctor may also recommend hearing aid , meniett device , steroid injection or vestibular therapy . Also do mind relaxing exercises like meditation and yoga . Sometimes problem or tinnitus also occur in case of meniere's disease , for that doctor may prescribe sedative and supplement like ginkgo biloba. Yoga and meditation can also be helpful.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
