Eustasion Tube Will NOT unblock; What to do?

@j6957d Hi: Just wondering what is the viral med you took? I am on the second antibiotic but if it's viral infection, this won't help so they say. I am happy to report that I am spitting out very thick mucus and this AM I was able to use the phone on my affected side. So there is some progress. I am also using a heated sinus mask while watching TV. Cannot see the ENT until later this month.

@phxbarb 4 days after losing my hearing I went to Urgent Care, they gave me Claritin D (use for 7 days) and Afrin nasal spray (use for 3 days). Day 5 of the Claritin I went to the ENT. So now we are looking at about 10 days after the hearing loss. He said at that time, it may be too late to recover even a bit of my hearing. The Prednisone for 14 days and Valacyclovir (viral med) for 7 days, and the 4 injections. I would go to the ER if you can't see your ENT, or call your ENT and tell them it is an emergency and if they can't help, see about a referral to another. The longer you wait, the less chance of regaining the hearing. I wish I had fought to see my ENT instead of going to Urgent care, I wasted a week!!!
