What to do with tinnitus caused by cold? Treatment methods for tinnitus caused by cold

Tinnitus caused by colds is a common symptom. Tinnitus is a frustrating thing because one of the five senses suddenly disappears, and people may panic. To treat tinnitus caused by colds, you must first treat the cold and identify the type of cold that causes the tinnitus.

1: When the original gas in the middle ear is completely absorbed, a negative pressure state is finally formed, and the eardrum is attracted and collapses inward. Due to the negative pressure, the blood vessels in the middle ear expand and the permeability increases, causing fluid accumulation in the middle ear. As a result, the patient feels as if the ear is filled with water and cannot hear any sound, thus causing tinnitus.

1: Colds cause blockage of the nasal mucosa, which in turn causes abnormalities in the pharyngeal tube, which results in tinnitus. The root cause of tinnitus is the swelling of the nasal cavity caused by colds, so you need to ventilate your nose first, and then the tinnitus will naturally go away.

2: Keep a happy mood and divert your attention, and the tinnitus may be alleviated. It is recommended that you avoid drinking strong tea, and avoid or eat less animal oil, fatty meat and fried food.
