Hi @lima58, I'm adding my welcome. How did the appointment go yesterday? Did the ENT have any helpful suggestions for managing ear pain and stuffy nose?

Thank you for reaching out. There is fluid behind Mark’s ear drum so he will have a tube placed on Monday to drain the fluid. The Dr scoped his nasal and throat passage too. There is scarring and narrowing of the passageway which is likely the cause of Mark’s stuffiness. The Dr didn’t offer any additional
Treatment to address the scarring/narrowing. How have others addressed this issue?
