I injured my knee last aug 2005 which
subsequently required surgery in november
2005. I took norco 7.5/325 for about 5
months and stopped a month ago. Just
about that same time I started feeling ill
with fever nausea and heachache. My
infant son also at the same time became
ill with fever runny nose grabbing his
ears and and the pedicatrician gave him
amoxicillan.
I am still not feeling well, the nausea
has subsided but the constant ringing in
my ears, headache and this low grade fever
of 99.5-11.4 are still present. I have
had the fever for 3 weeks and 3 days. I
went to see my family physician and was
honest about my feelings of concern for
being in withdrawl. He was aware of my
injury and knew I was being treated by an
ortho. He tells me I have a viral
infection and it is not uncommom to have a
low grade fever for up to 6-8 weeks. I
don't mean to question his diagnosis but
maybe he is not very familiar with
withdrawl symptoms, and it possible he is
correct. But I wanted to see if someone
else could rule out withdrawl. My symtoms
for 3 weeks now are ringing in both ears
which is distracting, fever of 99.5-100.4
slightly decreased mental alertness and a
headache. Do you think you could offer a
opinion on these symptoms?

Medication has alot to do with ringing .
Asprin and tylenol being a big cause .
Look up you r meds and see what the side
effects say .

I am no dr but it could be from your
medication, did you stop them real fast or
come off of them slowly, you might want to
look up tinitus on the internet, it might
even be from the anesthesia as that takes
time to get out of your system or sinus or
from your viral infection, it could be
from a lot of things.
Hope you and your son are feeling better
soon!
