Hello, 

My name is yoonseo and I have just recently started getting a ringing noise in my ear. I was skyping my friends yesterday and the game we were playing was really loud. During the call, my head started to hurt a lot and after a while, I decided to leave the call. Once I left I felt my left ear was clogged and I think I heard a faint ringing noise but I took a painkiller and went to sleep. Today my left ear is still clogged and ringing and I don't know what to do because the doctor is on holiday. Should I go visit a doctor and what can I do to help my ear

    You're suffering ETD, which in turn can cause tinnitus.  Ask about medication to try and unblock your

    ears.....you may find once this happens the tinnitus (ringing) will go.

    Good luck

    Hi most sore ears go away in a few day's just take painkillers and drink plenty that's what the doctor told me. I put vicks on a piece off cotton wool put it in my ear for few minutes do this 3 times a day it might help. If your ear is not better in a few day's go to your doctors . Hope you feel better soon x
