Blocked ears and tinnitus

Well where do I start. Tubes blocked behind my ears plus redness in one. Can't lay down in bed as as soon as I do that they block up and are sensitive to noise and bad tinnitus. Have started sleeping sat up as that's the only way I'm OK for the day. Any advice? Many thanks.

Prisoner, if there is redness then there is infection. Try your pharmacist for advice or the doctor.

Thank you for your reply. I've rang the doctor and they've prescribed otomize. Hoping it's going to work

I used Otomize and it gave me tinnitus unfortunately. I had ear pain for ages but no tinnitus and was prescribed Otomize. After 5 days I developed tinnitus. That was 3 months ago.

Hi bucks rhino, it's horrible isn't it, I've had it before 3yrs ago so not as stressed this time round plus it does make it worse too when getting anxious. I'm also taking avamys spray up my nose too so hoping that it will work. Thank you for your reply.
