Answers:
I hate to break it to the idiots who told you to get ear drops!. They will do nothing for your problem, as what you have is an ainfection of the middle ear, which lies BEHIND the eardrum and drops do not reach it!.
Ringing in the ear is probably due to pressure on your inner ear from the buildup of fluid pressing against the stapes and its connection to the round window!.
The only way you'll get rid of the infection is to see a doctor for antibiotics!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This happened to me too!
Sadly, you can't make it go away right away!.
I've been taking medication for 10 days now!.
Tomorrow will be my last day!.

The doctor prescribed:
Amoxicillin (pills) - 3 times a day for 10 days
Neo-Polymyxin (ear drops) - 3 times a day for 10 days

But everyone is different, so you may need different types of medication!.

I think you should visit the doctor and have them prescribe medication, and ask if there are any ways to prevent you form getting ear infections when you get a cold!.

GOOD LUCK ! ! !Www@Answer-Health@Com

i had one like two months ago from a throat infection!.!.!.it hurt like a mother******!!!! but yah my mom took me to the ER cuz i couldn't stop crying out in pain and the doctor gave me a prescription for antibiotics and told me to take motrin or something for the pain!.!.!.it didn't help at all (the motrin) but yah all you could do is bear the pain and temporary deafness, i was discharging some puss-like fluid from my ears for a whole week to this day i still feel some discharge its groooosss!! but yeah my regular hearing didn't come back until like 3 weeks ago!.!.!.the doctor said there was nothing else i could do to get rid of it
i bet if i were older i would have gotten oxycontin or vicodin or something it was the most painful experience of my life!! thank god its over!!! you have my sympathy though :(Www@Answer-Health@Com

SEE A DOCTOR!.
If your hearing is diminishing and you're constantly hearing a ringing then this is becoming a serious problem!. I'm sure that it is not very comfortable, and you need to get some proper medicine prescribed by your doctor or a treatment procedure before it worsens!.

Good luck and I hope your ear gets better!. :]Www@Answer-Health@Com

Eat well!.
Sleep well!.
Use some mucus dilutant (ambroxol)
Use some antiinflammatory (ibuprofen!?)
Those are hard for the stomach, try to take with food!.
Take all antibiotics prescribed, dont stop in middle, it will get resistant, if bacterial infection!.
Take some vitamins!. At least vit C!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should probably go to a doctor!.

If not, then go to the drugstore and get something called Sweet Oil!. Use a cotton swab or an eye dropper to put some in your ear!.

I think you're supposed to heat up the Sweet Oil first!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Go to the doctor and get some anti biotics, before you cause some permanent damage!. Also, the drug store sells ear drops, for preventing and treating such infections, if you are prone to them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds as though you have wax build up - not an infection!. Ear infections are extremely painful and you'd need antibiotic drops!.But if it's just wax build up, try putting drops of warm olive oil into your ears!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
