Bronchitis causing annoying ear-ringing?

[Jokerhound]

I learned yesterday that I had a viral infection which then turned into minor bronchitis. Ever since this morning, there has been an annoying ringing and sorta clogged feeling in my right ear. Is this normal with sickness or? It's getting annoying. It was bad this morning, cleared up for the rest of the day, and then picked up about a half an hour again. Of course, it's got me paranoid about my carotids again. I'm more than sure it's not that but eh..

Is there any way to stop this ringing/feeling, though? Tips? Or do I just put up with it? Is it normal?

All I've taken is 30 ml of Children's NyQuil and about some coughs drops. Could that have caused it also?
