That's good news for you Marias! There's a guy's T disappeared after the use of nasal spray for sinus.
And this case related to sinus too

Maybe you should discuss with a doctor and get some scan on sinus?
And btw, how did your T started?

Good for you.
Here's a strange (maybe not so strange) connection.
Sudafed is for congestion.
The other day I was talking with my dad and he grabbed his ear lobe and started going in circles. I looked at him funny, he said the doctor told him to do it for his ringing ears, that he has congestion. ?????????

maby ive talk to soon my T is going crazy right now its 12 am here

Afrin and Sudafed has helped diminish my T too. If your T is caused by a sinus/ear infection it's very likely these meds would offer relief.

I agree - Sudafed calms my T down. But I don't think you can take it long-term. Have you tried inhaling menthol crystals? If you are congested that helps clear the sinuses. I think that is a good sign that your T is not permanent and also the reason for it, which is half the battle. Ask your doctor about taking it all the time.

Don't worry if it doesn't clear them right away. Congestion can take ages to clear and T even more so. But if it's already helping it's a good sign.

I don't understand why last night my ear was ringing ive been taken Sudafed every 6 hours im really started. To believe that my t is here to stay.

Give it time. If it is linked with congestion then it can take months to go away - unfortunately. Good news is you felt it go for a little while - that is a good indicator it is not permanent. Try inhaling the menthol crystals. I have done this for two days and my ears go mad: I can feel them moving like crazy. It really clears the sinuses. Try not to worry - I think yours will sort itself out, but be aware it could take some months.

My cousin who is a pharmacy technician told me to stop taking Sudafed becuse that cause ringing in the ear so im wondering what I can take that safe and will help

 

[citigirl13]

My advice would be to go back to the doctor and see if they can give you anything else that will help you decongest. Unfortunately I am in the same boat as you and they basically gave me a nasal spray and said I would have to be patient, so unfortunately I don't think there's much they can do

Sudafed does nothing for me.
