seriously out of sorts
16 Answers
I am not sure where this is going, but have a bad cold, a wheezy miserable stay awake cough. Got to the doctors and now have antibiotics, so far so good, but with the tinnitus i already have, i have lost much of my hearing, and now worried this could be the shape of things to come. I am taking as much rest, and lemon with paracetmols, covonia, to try and ease it, but my hearing is really muffled, will this come back do you reckon.

I have been given erythromycin, and take them every 6 hours, so hopefully wont take too long to help, but with the cold/bug/infection it's making me tip over, already have vertigo, and all without imbibing any alcohol, double whammy....

I'm the same, I have hearing loss anyway with menieres and when I have a cold it and the tinnitus gets a lot worse. It always clears eventually though sometimes takes a while after the cold that set it off has settled.
I find it more disorientating as it makes such a difference in hearing between ears but nothing really to do but wait for it to sort itself out. Can't wait for mine to sort itself out this time though still got the cold since Friday and still producing mucus so might be a while yet. I can feel quite vulnerable too, especially if I hear noises at night when I'm on my own but I can't hear well enough to work out what/where etc...
I get a similar thing in my ears sometimes if I'm anywhere loud like in a late bar with music.
Been trying to keep my ears covered under a hat while outside as they went really painful before the cold kicked in last week. No pain now, just blocked.

am aware that this was from 14th december, but i still have this virus, and nothing so far has shifted it, have had endless medication, seen doctor numerous times, and feel worn out, and not a little bit scared. The hacking cough only subsides with a strong suppressant, now worried if stop taking it, it will still be there. So sleep has been out of the question. Had chest x ray, blood test, results next week. Not sure why i am updating this, perhaps it's hard to express one's fears to the doctor for fear of coming across as a hypochondriac. My ears are still blocked, and seeing how this started 10th december am wondering if anyone else is also having a prolonged bout of illness due to a diagnosed winter virus.
