No, it drains in your nasal cavity. Ear ringing (tinnitus) can happen when you have a blocked eustachian tube so if you have symptoms of rhinitis due to virus or allergy, claritin-D may help. If you do not have any nasal symptoms, claritin-D is less likely effective and you should see an ENT doctor for a thorough evaluation if tinnitus persists.
