I had an infection in my wisdom teeth. I took antibiotics and got better. For many reasons, I didn’t have the surgery to have them removed afterward.
The infection is back. I have all of the same symptoms as before, but they’re much worse this time.
When I open my mouth, there is a lot of pain. I have a hard time opening my mouth and chewing food. I’ve been having issues with vertigo and tinnitus. I’m nauseated and have a bad head ache every day, especially near bed time. I can’t hear well out my my right ear. It pops(not crackling, though) when I yawn, but it hurts(and it usually doesn’t). Fluid continues to drain out but it doesn’t help my hearing.
So I was wondering if anyone has experienced or heard of pericoronitis causing labrynthitis.
The doc will figure it out soon enough, I’m just wondering mainly for my own amusement, and if I should be taking aspirin or not, lol.
Thank you!
P.S. I’ll be seeing a doctor in 3 weeks and a dentist after that.. So anyone with the advice of "GO SEE A DOCTOR!!!1!!!!1" I’m on it, thanks.

Let me start of by saying I'm 19 years old. I've been in a band for about 3 years and I've exposed me ears to extremely loud noise without plugs or anything to protect them and I believe I developed Tinnitus about 2 years ago. I had a slight ringing sound with a bit of buzzing but it was always tolerable, usually i would just put some music on and forget about it. Recently it's been getting worse so I started wearing ear plugs and it seemed to be keeping things the way they were. I have the ringing in both ears. A few days ago I was playing the music without the ear plugs and the ringing seemed to get worse. Though the last few months I've been getting dizzy spells (vertigo if you will) and i didn't think much of it. I started feeling nauseous to the point where I would want to vomit but I haven't yet. I feel off balance throughout the day. My ears also feel full as if I couldn't pop them but I really have no problem with that. The ringing seems to intensify sometimes and I also pick up a lot of sharp sounds in my ears that wouldn't have bothered me before. After doing some research I came across meniere's disease which pretty much backs up all of my symptoms. The only discouraging part is that I'm so young and this usually effects adults in their 30's and up. Im not ruling this out a single bit but I wanted to know if anybody out there is suffering from the same symptoms or even has meniere's disease and maybe tell me hoe to keep the ringing to a tolerable level. I have a hard time sleeping, thats when the ringing seems to be at it's worst. I cut Sodium out of my diet as of yesterday and I'm waiting to see if it shows any positive results. The earliest I can get in to see my doctor is March 3rd (a little over 2 weeks from today) and I'm hoping i can deal with it until then. I've read that they do have surgeries to help with this and I would very much so consider it due to my young age. I'm hoping things will resolve on it's own but only time can tell. Does anybody have any recommendations for me? Medications or just helpful information I couldn't find on a website? It would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

I went to a silverstein concert last night and it was awesome. Now today my ears are ringing and I am having a hard time hearing what people say. I know ringing after a concert is normal but how long will it last and will it have perminate damage later on in life

I have been taking aound 900 mgs each month for migraines for over 10 years.
Now during the last year I have noticed I am getting Tinnitis and it is getting worse.
I have a hard time sleeping at night even with 2 noisy fans running.
The metallic ringing sounds come from 2 and sometimes 3 diferent areas of my head. And gets louder if I move my head sise to side. It drives me crazy and If for some reasaon I am woke up during the night there is no way I can go back to sleep because the sound is so irritating.
I saw an Ear specialist and I have no ear wax build up and he could see no obvious cause for the sudden tinnitus.
I do have high cholesterol of 235
I was taking Welbutrin and Zonegram but stopped to see if it was the meds causing the tennitus but it wasn't.
If it is the long term use of Imitrex (like asprin) is causing the tinnitus will stopping the med eventually cause it to go away or am I stuck with it forever?
