Hi Pradeep,  
It's called tinnitus in medical terminology, and it can be caused by many factors. In your case, since you went swimming and developed an infection, it seems to be related to otitis media, which is a middle ear infection you had previously. To provide a more accurate answer, I would need to review your old prescriptions, medications, and test results. Please share your reports.

Namaste, 
Your symptoms—whistling sound in the ear, warmth in the head, headache, and fatigue—suggest a possible ear infection, Eustachian tube dysfunction, or noise-induced tinnitus due to swimming and exposure to loud firecracker sounds. Water in the ear can trap bacteria, leading to inflammation and pressure buildup, while sudden loud noises can damage the delicate inner ear structures, triggering ringing (tinnitus) and discomfort.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, this condition is linked to Vata aggravation (nerve irritation and ringing sound), Pitta imbalance (inflammation causing warmth), and Kapha accumulation (fluid retention leading to blockage). To restore balance, Nasya therapy with Anu Taila or Shadbindu Taila (2 drops in each nostril) helps clear ear and sinus congestion. Karna Purana (2 drops of lukewarm Bilva Taila or Sesame oil in the affected ear) can soothe irritation, while steam inhalation with eucalyptus or ajwain relieves blockage. Herbal support like Triphala, Yashtimadhu (Licorice), and Brahmi strengthens nerves and reduces inflammation.

To aid recovery, follow a Vata-Pitta balancing diet, avoiding cold, oily, and excessively salty foods. Warm oil head massage (Shiro Abhyanga) with Brahmi or Mahanarayan oil improves circulation, and Bhramari Pranayama (humming breath) helps relieve tinnitus. If symptoms persist, consulting an ENT specialist is essential to rule out inner ear damage, but Ayurveda can help naturally soothe the condition and restore balance.

Namaste,

Your symptoms — whistling in the ear, warmth in the head, headache, and fatigue — may indicate an ear infection, Eustachian tube dysfunction, or noise-induced tinnitus. Swimming and exposure to loud sounds can trigger these issues by irritating the ear or causing fluid buildup.

From an Ayurvedic view, this reflects Vata (nerve irritation), Pitta (inflammation), and Kapha (congestion) imbalance.

To ease discomfort:
	•	Nasya: 2 drops of Anu Taila or Shadbindu Taila in each nostril.
	•	Karna Purana: 2 drops of warm Bilva Taila or Sesame oil in the affected ear.
	•	Steam Inhalation with eucalyptus or ajwain to clear congestion.
	•	Herbs like Triphala, Yashtimadhu, and Brahmi can aid recovery.

A Vata-Pitta balancing diet, warm oil head massage, and Bhramari Pranayama can further help. If symptoms persist, consult an ENT specialist. Ayurveda can naturally support your healing.
