Ringing in ear
Hi,
Since more than a week my ear is ringing all time but specially at night while going for sleep.
Sometime I also feel like I am going to loose my balance.
Mostly it happened at right ear and feel like something has stuck in my thorat at right side also feel like salt taste liquid is coming in right side throat and I have to spit it again and again
I also feel dry nose, mouth and thorat though I drink lot of water.
I got my tonsils removed in childhood and had ear surgery of both ear before 20 years but never observed any symptoms till time.
Please suggest what to do
Regards,
Dnyaneshwar

Hello, there seems to be two problems, may be related but need separate evaluation. The ringing in ear and imbalance may be due to weakness of the nerve of ear, this will require hearing test called as audiometry and tympanometry. The salty feeling in throat and thirst and sputum looks like gastric reflux. This will need medications failing which upper GI endoscopy.
Next Steps
Consult an ENT specialist online or locally and then a gastroenterologist
