It is best to check with your doctor but the ringing in the ears is likely a side effect of the chemo. You really should mention it to the chemo doctor so that you can be monitored. When my husband was undergoing treatment, he was advised by the nurses not to take Tylenol as it can suppress a fever and the patient might miss an infection. The RO, though, said to me that while that's the chemo people's take on the matter, in his opinion there would be other signs to look for in the case of an infection aside from the fever. We decided to stop using Tylenol since we didn't really know what are "the other signs of infection" and my husband took his own temperature every night to make sure that it had not gone above 38 degrees Celsius.

My husband had 3 sessions of Cisplatin scheduled together with 35 sessions of RX. Unfortunately, he developed deep vein thrombosis after the second chemo session and the third session was duly cancelled. The chemo sensitizes the cancer cells to the radiation and enhances the efficacy of the radiation. It can also help wipe out any cancer cells that have wandered into the system.
