Guest guest Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Greetings all, Does anyone have experience in treating tinnitus follwing antibiotic use? 57 y.o. male pt., tinnitus onset 4 mos. ago following a 10 day course of antibiotics and ear drops, for an external " boil " on L ear. Slightly overweight, easy going artist. Is on no pharmaceuticals, takes multi vitamin daily. Has tried oil of oregano, periwinkle and ginko biloba with no success. My dx. is mixed - feel like there is phlegm obstruction with heat or maybe that the heat burned the phlegm making it more stagnant, leading to Qi stag + Heat. DUe to his age and the deep Ki pulse, there appears to be some Ki xu, but I do not feel that this is the overriding dx. T - red, reder tip, yel. dry coat and sl. scalloped, P - thin, thready, sl. slippery , R>L, deep Kid I also understand that there may be some permanent damage to the cilia in the inner ear from the antibiotic use. Does anyone know about this? Any suggestions on moving the phlehm or treating this pt. would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
