[|Human|] I had the flu, H1N1 over 3 weeks ago.  I now have severe ringing in the ears, almost constant headaches and waves of pain in my head that get worse at night when I lay down.  Had an episode last Sunday where my head and hands were numb and went to the ER.  They did a cat scan and some blood work as well as a urinalysis and cannot find anything.  The numbness is gone but still having symptoms.  I am 49 years old with high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
[|AI|]  Thanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor. As I understand you are suffering form some kind of upper respiratory tract infection that could be viral or bacterial .it causes swelling in inner part of sinuses which is responsible for producing such symptom. But don't worry as such kind of infection usually resolve within 7-10 days of period. You should boost your immunity by taking good nutritious date, multivitamin, zinc preparation. Antihistaminic like Loratadine 10 mg once a day can be taken to receive symptoms. Aceclophenac 100 mg for pain relief can be taken. Steam inhalation 2-3 times a day will help in decreasing internal congestion. If not received or complaint increases consult to ENT specialist. Medicine should be taken under guidance of clinician .hope this information will be sufficient for your query .rate me if you are satisfied with my answer .feel free to ask.
