constant ear ringing causing headaches

by nancy1974, Aug 10, 2008 08:59PM
I have been getting headaches and pressure above the eye due to constant ear ringing and I am not sure what it is. I have had it for about a year now it started after an inner ear infection. I was just wondering what is could be and what I can do about it except for constantly taking tylenol.

Hello nancy1974,
You probably have sinus headache that occurs when the sinuses become congested. The sinuses are the bony, air-filled cavities in the head that connect to the nose through small openings. During a cold or allergy attack, the openings can become blocked by excess mucus and may become infected.
Diagnosis  can be confirmed with an x-ray or a CT scan. These tests can show if there is swelling or fluid in the sinus tissue.
A sinus headache may be treated with aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen to temporarily relieve pain.You can take decongestants if the sinuses are blocked. Antibiotics and anti histaminics can be taken if your physician suggests.
Refer http://www.hmc.psu.edu/healthinfo/s/sinusheadache.htm for more info.
