instruction: hello doctor I have an ear infection on my right ear for the past one week so my doctor prescribes me some antibiotics amoxicillin with prednisolone but my tinnitus did not go away how long will it take for the tinnitus to go away if there is no pain in my ear
output: hi the answer to your question entirely depends on how you developed the ear infection in the first place in general until the eardrum heals you will be having weird noises tinnitus and ear discomfort due to interference with sound transmission and processing if the ear infection has happened secondary to recurrent allergy or cold then you will have probably developed a eustachian tube catarrh due to which the fluid is still present in the middle ear causing the tinnitus and will take around two months approximately in to for tinnitus to resolve if the ear infection has occurred due to trauma by earbuds etc the tinnitus will take approximately four to six weeks as this the average time it takes to heal the ear drum I am sure you fall into one of the two possibilities mentioned above there is absolutely nothing that you need to worry about as this usually takes a while for things to normalize at the same time make sure there are no triggering factors out there some one they include use of earphones headphones exposure to loud sounds consumption of alcohol smoking stress etc try to maintain a healthy lifestyle as much as possible and do not think too much about the tinnitus nor try to google about it too much I hope this helps
