Tinnitus & acid reflux
I am badly confused, I show a ear doctor & he found out that my ear drum is swollen at the same time I'm having acid reflux issue as well. Can anyone tell me what is exactly wrong?
Need help, kindly revert.

Reflux laryngopharyngitis can cause post nasal inflammation and secondary eustachian tube dysfunction causing problems in the middle ear too. You may need to take anti reflux medications for few weeks for long term benefits
