2021-08-18 11:43:27
Almost one month ago I suffered from cold recovered in 3-4 days but from that day I started to feel dizzy along with ringing sound in ears I visited neurologist for dizziness but before I could start medication dizziness stopped as I was travelling I didn't took medicines but ringing sound  ear pain & heavy forehead head + headaches still exist I do feel it's because of some ear issue so what tests should I do to know it's a ear infection or not
