5 year old complaining of headache/ringing in ears

My 5 year old boy has been complaining of headache and it's off and on for him. He would get them after school and evening time. He would fall asleep fine and wake up again complaining of a headache. Also, he has been complaining of ringing sounds in his ears. I am going to make an appointment with his doctor to check it out. He also have an ongoing stuffy nose, but not runny. Has any parent experience this in the past with their child? I am scare it's something inside his brain. Thank you!

That sounds like Eustachian tube dysfunction.  Take her to her doctor.  Hopefully she's been diagnosed by now.  Probably had a virus or ear infection and this can lead to the dysfunction.  Let us know how she is doing.
