A member asked:
After having a head cold i now have a high pitch whistle in my left ear, will it go away or do i need to see a doctor.

Otitis media: It may be that this is related to middle ear congestion and trying a decongestant would be beneficial. Use Pseudoephedrine or oxymetozline nasal spray and see if this does not resolve the problem. If not, go and get examined by a doctor.
