instruction: hi doctor I was seen at emergency care and diagnosed with a sinus infection my eardrums were red and there was fluid behind them I was prescribed to have zithromycin 250 my pak which I have been taking now four days later my left ear is completely plugged and the right ear is somewhat plugged my hearing is affected I also suffer from tinnitus this infection has made the tinnitus louder and much more intrusive should I hang on for a while longer or do I need to be seen by my ent doctor immediately
output: hi since you had sinusitis it is very likely that the infection has spread to your ear which is causing the blocking sensation I would also like to know whether you are suffering from tinnitus for long have you had age related hearing loss earlier as well do you have ear pain either it can be just the infection in resolving stage which will take around two to three weeks after the infection subsides or it is possible that you are getting sensorineural hearing loss to confirm this audiometry is required along with impedance audiometry
