[Solved] Possible tinnitus & cold

My wife is currently suffering from diminished hearing as well as some nasal discharge. We believe it might be tinnitus probably. Below were her symptoms yesterday:

For Nose
- snuffling of mucus somewhere in her airways begins while brushing teeth but no discharge when she tries to expel. Thick, difficult mucus with greenish color, sometimes partially white in small amount gets expelled in the end. She basically has snatch it out as its sticky but not ropy or stringy. Sometimes it gets pulled from nostrils into her throat.

- yesterday morning she reported headache which she mentioned stopped after she cleared her nose.

For throat
- cough sometimes dry & sometimes with some mucus but she is unable to expel it.
- cough sometimes consisting of 2 or 3 coughs.
- expectoration only in the morning atleast once; rarely; greenish.
- no rattling of mucus in throat or chest.
- pain in sternum if she coughs for longer.

Based on her above nose-related symptoms I gave her Kali Bich 200CH in the morning. Today there was no discharge but she was still having nasal congestion somewhere as the snuffling was quite evident.

Ears
- constant whizzing noise alternates with pulsation; can hear heartbeat like sound.
- minor pain sometimes in either one of the ear; last of 2-3 seconds once a day. No pain yesterday.
- her own voice she feels is louder.
- diminished hearing.
- no ear discharge or any visible fluid.

Based on the above symptoms I also gave her Causticum 200CH last night. She did not report any relief in her ear problem this morning after last night's dose.

She has been suffering from this for the past 2 weeks. The ENT specialist showed huge amounts of brownish ear wax in her left ear which was blocking the left eardrum. No relief even after it was cleared.

Mind
- So far she has maintained calm & composure which I doubt I would have maintained; shyness; embarrassment.
- She is still sad because she does not want to share her problem in the office & unable to have proper conversation with anyone.
- shy with strangers but very talkative with her friends & relatives.
- wants company.
- active memory.
- highly concerned of her image in front of loved ones & relatives.
- responsible.
- religious & somewhat fanatic; likes to dress the figurines during festivals.
- timid; fears approaching a person but has courage to scold someone; tearful, cries easily when scolded or ignored for long time.
- usually she doesn't care to get well.
- resist change esp when it comes to food.
- goes to a shell when she is hurt or likes to cry alone.
- fear of failure; afraid of cooking in presence of my parents in the house; feels like cooking with comfort when they are not around.
- high tempered, easily angered.
- persistent thoughts when angry or after a fight; feels like torturing herself.
- hasty but also likes to laze around after waking up or in the night once she is in bed.
- fastidious; likes to keep things clean & organized; make notes.
- cannot do mathematical calculations without writing them.
- obedient towards elders; easily gels with them.
- highly shy, secretive when discussing anything related to sexual matters; behaves like children & makes noises.

Appetite & Desires

- dislikes fruits.

Temperature
- chilly patient; gets chilled if the window is open; likes to keep them shuttered if she is cold; feels better with warmth; warm drinks; steam inhalation.

Sexual organs
- diminished sexual desire; feels vaginal pain or soreness sometimes after her periods.

Sleep
- wants me to be near her when she is going to sleep. Usually gets hold my clothes while she is sleeping & sometimes wants me to place my hand below her cheek or touch her skin; possibly sign of reassurance.

Age
27/F/India

Physical appearance
Height - 5'3
- bright complexion.
- slight belly fat & some fat around thighs.
- round face with some chubbiness.
- wears spectacles.

Can an expert please advise whether the medicines I gave her match her symptoms? If they are correct then is it okay to give both the medicines with 12 hours gap? kali bich 200CH today made her a bit sleepy in the morning so I am having second thoughts of giving her potency 30CH instead like this:

Morning till evening: Kali Bich 30CH 2 doses.
Before sleep: Causticum 200CH or Causticum 1M until she starts to feel better.
