A member asked:

How to treat mild tinnitus that caused by side effect of antibiotics?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Likely no need: If the ringing is from the antibiotic it should stop when the antibiotic is finished. If not, try vitamin b12. Best way is injection not oral.

Dr Gallia and another doctor agreed

Specializes in Surgery - Oral & Maxillofacial

Temporay: Likely temporary unless due to aminoglycosides. The best person to see for tinnitus is an otologist (ENT doc that only treats ears).
