Ongoing Eustachian Tube Dysfunction – Need Advice

I have had some results back from a nasal swab - this was done by a naturopath who is an expert in treating mold, lyme disease and difficult chronic sicknesses. I don't understand it all but I am "marcons positive" which is "a multiple antibiotic resistant coag neg staph that reside in the deep nasal passage, is common in biotoxin illness, is a marker of low MSH and produce biofilms which form a barrier to immune defenses and anti-infection therapy. Biofilm production in bacteria, mold or yeast may account for some cases of chronic nasal and sinus congestion and inflammation." I also tested positive for a small amount of a fungal organism. She has prescribed me two very special nasal sprays which I will get tomorrow plus is starting me on herbs to get rid of any fungus in my body (like lungs).

@margvo ...I also had this fullness and pressure come on suddenly, and I can't hear myself or i sound muffled. My eustachian tubes have always caused problems, all my life, but this pressure is like a constant headcold and im struggling to hear.
Over a year ago, I was emptying out my deceased parents house. Took 3 months, and I picked up a fungal infection on my chest. It became a deep open sore, burned and was painful. This is when my head pressure/fullness began. My dr at the time gave me a topical ointment to apply, but never did a biopsy. I have a scar from it. Ive moved on from that dr. But im going to mention this to my drs next visit.
I did tests for autoimmune diseases, all negative. Only did that because I complained about chronic fatigue and aches.

@margvo That's interesting. I have been remodeling my parents house and I'm sure I've been exposed to molds. I asked for the nasil swab and the doctor talked me out of or. I'll ask again to be sure. Thank you!
I do have some really strong reactions to certain things I'm allergic to. When exposed to them, I'm real bad the next day.
I'm better now that the fall weeds are gone.
