Tinnitus caused by a cold?

[PerkP]

I'm at the end of a nasty cold and have no fever left but do have a blocked nose and slightly fuzzy ears. I've had constant white noise in my ears now for 2 days and it translates itself in to a high pitch when i'm lying in the dark at night and is driving me mad. I can still get to sleep but the coughing eventually wakes me up anyway. My sinuses aren't totally blocked anymore, (they were) but are still relatively bunged up. Will this ringing in my ears go away? My left tragus hurts when I push it in which makes me wonder whether I have a slight ear infection - either way I have bought some ear infection spray. Is there anything else I can do to make this ringing go away? I'm terrified that it's going to be with my forever. Thank you!

It sounds like an ear infection get help from your Dr. If you wait your ear drum can rupture like my husband's did. If so you need antibiotics.
