See ENT: It is time to consult an allergist or ENT since the relief from antihistamine and nasal spray (if nasal decongestant spray is used be sure not to use it for more than 5 consecutive days) suggests that your nasal congestion is causing the ear problem.

Seek medical attn.: Persistent ringing in the ears, also known as tinnitus, is something that may be either temporary or long-term. The only way to find out more information will be to go in and have the ringing evaluated by your physician or an audiologist.
