My 4 year old has been on antibiotics for suspected ear/sinus infection last week and finished the course on Monday this week. He has definitely been struggling with his hearing the last couple of weeks. The last couple of days he has said he has a 'noise in his head' or his ear. He says it comes and goes but makes it hard for him too hear. He seems to think it's just one ear when I ask him to show me.
He does have enlarged tonsils which he is under ENT for but rarely suffers from throat infections etc.
