On Tuesday (21-12-2023), I was having serious fever, so went to buy an over-the-counter malaria drug and one flu tablet. The lady chemist told me to use 4 tablets in the morning and 4 in the afternoon for the malaria drug, but for the Flu medicine, I should use 1 tablet in the morning and at night. I took 4 tablets in the afternoon that day. On the next day, which is Wednesday, I took 4 tablets making 8 tablets in total plus 1 Flu tablet, A few hours after I took that medicine, I felt a sharp pain in my left hear, after which the pain subsided.

I am Welder by profession, I went to work that same moment, at work, I was using a grinding machine to grind iron to make iron smooth, the machine makes noise, but this day, as I was grinding, I could feel something in my brain or inner ear bringing buzzing sound or noise into my ear, after grinding that iron, I couldn't ear anything, all I was hearing is just noise.

The next day, which is today Thursday, I could hear people speak but they have to be loud, and my ears can't tolerate noise at all.

To go hospital hard me because I no gallant because of the series of test they will have me run which will expend my money I don't have.

My question is to the learned health practitioners in the house, should I give it time for it to heal on its own or I should go to the hospital for doctor's opinion on the matter.

Attached are the medicines for your scrutiny, I hope it is not one of those fake drugs.

Muffed hearing/ Tinnitus is a side effect of artemisinin, visit an ENT Doctor.

A rush of blood to the head.
Antimalarial drugs can cause an acute rise in blood flow... This may have blocked ur ears.

It shud clear after a while.
Meanwhile check ur b. P sha

These symptoms usually go away once use of the medication has stopped.

Aba made drugs, sorry but it's not going to be permanent, you will hear again, though it may be because you did not send money to your village for Christmas this year, that may be the cause.

Me self, I no well...

How much did you pay for the antimalarial and how much for the flu drug? Antimalarial is usually to be 2 in the morning, 2 at night for three days making 12.

BigDickProblems:
This is why I hate taking drugs. Some drugs kills you slowly but you don't know it. There were some drugs that the adverse and lifelong side effects were determined many years after their production, and were thereby banned from the market.

This malaria stuff is avoidable depending on your environment and if you use mosquito net.

The day I took paracetamol to wake up to swelling on my face was the last day I took anything medicine. It’s been over 7 years now.

OgideAgu:
Are you sure u didn't take overdose?...4 in one afternoon?

He clearly overdosed

frankpro27:
It's likely the drug is fake. They compounded quinine and called it Artemether/lumefantrine. One of the side of quinine is ringing in the ear. U will recover, but be careful where you buy ur drugs next time. Always patronise a registered pharmacy

this drug has nafdac number, why will you say its fake.. this is someone's business don't be too quick to condem.

The maleria drug and dosage seems ok based on the composition bt it can also be fake cos of the name is unfamiliar or atleast go to a verified pharmacy to buy ur drugs.

what about the flu drug u took it with?

Always be careful of what u treat urself with. verify b4 using..

The earlier you visit a doctor the better for u. There are 2 things u must do. 1.Discontinue using all the drugs because am not sure if the adverse drug reactions is as a result of both or one of the drugs. With time it can wear out.
2. Visit an ENT Doctor immediately.

I pray not, but if u don't take adequate measure now it can last u a life time.

Only God can save us from these people and get rich quick syndrome.....the government needs to do more with controls over manufacturing in all spheres and not just limited to drugs; it should encompass everything including banning all imitations in whatever form

it is not the anti malaria that blocked your hearing, it is the. Malaria itself that blocked your heating.. When malaria becomes too strinh and severe, it's final point is the brain, it mess up with the brain could even lead to seizures and hearing lost and una ale to taste anything, no forget say na Brian dey interpret sense organs for body which aids hearing also... I'm same light, the bacteria that causes typhoid when really severe the final point is your stomach and it will mess your system up, the constant severe stomach pain when ur kidneys aren't having issues or ur appendix is in good shape, severe untreated typhoid is what is causing it.... Y'all Should learn to listen to your body

Ur malaria drug may not be d curse of ur deafness...rather exposure to those noisy mechines u use over time could be the curse most welders over time become blind or deaf..it's not a good job but if u must do it adhere to all safety measure like wearing an earlid or good recommended dark shade

If cost is the issue, go to a government hospital, FMC preferably.

Just go as early as possible to mitigate waiting for too long.

I thought you took Quinine or a drug containing quinine-like compound... The drug you took rarely causes middle ear blockage or issues.

An E.N.T specialist should be able to quickly handle your case.

It's the side effects of the drug. No worries bro.

No my friendo! Malaria tablet did not block your hearing. What you are suffering from is TINNITUS, go do your researches on Tinnitus, you said you are a welder and you use grinding machine those are what caused your tinnitus, you should have used ear plugs when using your machine.

And also serious fever or flu can cause Tinnitus. Tinnitus do not have any cure, some times it may go away after few weeks, days or even months and sometimes it will carry on permanent.

Tinnitus can cause partial hearing loss for few days, months or weeks and sometimes permanent deafness.



I have being suffering Tinnitus for 3 years now, i was in a music band as a drummer for 5 years i should have wore ear plugs but i didn't, i played in noisy nightclubs, I worked at noisy football stadiums for many years. i have had buzzing in my right ear everyday, every hour for 5 years now. When i first had Tinnitus i nearly cut my ear off due to the anxiety and paranoia i was having. Now i am living with tinnitus for 5 years now. It can only be managed but cannot be cured.
It wasn't the malaria tablets it was the noise from your machine and welding job that caused it, believe it or not.

Good luck.

I use that same drug nothing happened to me

Chassy03:

It is not the drug, what he is suffering from is called Tinnitus! deafness from his welding job and grinding machine. Tinnitus can also be caused by after having heavy cold, malaria or flu.


Tinnitus has no cure it can only stop by it self after days, weeks or months and it can become a permanent.

riczy:
Muffed hearing/ Tinnitus is a side effect of artemisinin, visit an ENT Doctor.

Correct!! I have being living with Tinnitus now for nearly 5 years, it has not cure, I have being to ENT severally, they scanned my brain, nothing was found. Eventually i was told i have Tinnitus.


First week i had buzzing in my right ear i nearly cut my ear off, due to the anxiety and paranoia it caused me.


The cause of my Tinnitus i was told it is as a result of being a drummer in a music band, noisy nightclubs i played at for many years as a DJ and i had a very heavy cold flu that same week i had buzzing and deafness in my right ear.

It cannot be cured but can be managed.

Try antihistamine first

I know OP will start blaming village people or even conclude he bought fake drugs.

One thing I have noticed about Nigerians is that they ain't safety conscious......I have colleagues like that at work, even though educated some of them still behave like illiterates. To put on ordinary ear plug is a problem, they only do that whenever they sight safety officers on patrol.


I am very sure OP has never used an ear plug before, when you advice people like him they will say you're forming over sabi.


I have seen many roadside welders working with slippers instead of safety boot. 95% of them don't even wear coverall.

NAFDAC is just dead

Some ppl are wishing you quick recovery: if that medicine is made in India or Nigeria, oya sope o tiló

I was using a grinding machine to grind iron to make iron smooth, the machine makes noise, but this day, as I was grinding, I could feel something in my brain or inner ear bringing buzzing sound or noise into my ear, after grinding that iron, I couldn't ear anything, all I was hearing is just noise.

Based on what you wrote here you weren't using ear cover to block you ears while grinding on this one you have messed up.

Some anti malaria can give this clinging sounds in ear but will stop and during those times you don't need extra sounds like over louding your radio at home but you make the matter worse by not wearing ear cover while grinding which you know it can make hell of noise coupled with the already clinging sounds from the anti malaria drugs you took.

Bro that sound from grinder will make it take a little while before your ear will be clear, for now you can't use ear pods or headset or earphones or even to loud music on your radio at home, go to pharmacy and complian.

Never use grinder without earcover.

I will advise you give it sometime. Drink water minimum of 6 liters a day for 6days it will help to flush your system and you will be fine. If it persist go see a doctor. I wish you quick recovery

What a weird take.

Sorry about your plight bro. But the thing is, have you gone to do an scientific test to be sure it is the said product that caused it? Else, be mindful about people’s brand. You can ruin someone’s company with ignorance. Go to the hospital for medical advise.
