I've had a head cold for 10 days now that is mostly in my ears. They have been ringing (tinnitus) for the entire time. I can’t sleep; the doctor put me on steroids and prednisone. It has been 2 days but it is not getting better. What can I do?

You could try Plantago, this is traditionally used to help with blocked ears from infections, colds etc.

This can be taken with your other medication.

However, it is a little slow and may take a few days to start showing benefit.

Some people find that cutting out dairy products at this time also helps as they can contribute to mucus build up.
