It should be noted that tinnitus may manifest itself after a cold because of the inflammation in the middle ear. But the treatment plan that you offer seems adequate. In this regard, it is recommended to have all the antibiotics and dexamethasone. In case of absence of any improvements, you should see your ENT specialist for additional evaluation and treatment.
