i went to a loud gig last tuesday and the next morning i had a lot of ringing in my ears, this went the day after but i was left with a feeling in my ear, mainly my right ear which was next to the speaker, i decided 2 go to the doctors to see what was wrong.
he said i had a build up of catarrh in the right ear and a small amount in the left.
he gave me some decongestant tablets and said it would clear quicker...
its driving me mad and its started to ache a little, does this mean that the tablets are working? or should i go back and see him?
anyone else had this problem? and is it caused by smoking?
help

If you still have the discomfort I'd say the reasonable thing to do is to go back to the doc and ask what to do next. Other than that I would make two other suggestions.
1) Do not expose yourself to noise levels higher than those that would allow normal conversation with someone 10 feet away from you. If you look closely at the musicians you will probably see that they are wearing ear protection to avoid hearing loss and tinnitus, even though their monitor is set at a lower level than the main speakers.
2) Stop smoking. Getting clean from nicotine won't help your hearing but it will do wonders for your lungs....and slow suffocation from lung cancer is a really ugly way to go.
