Eustasian tube dysfunction remedies

Posted by januaryjane @januaryjane, May 28 12:32am

It's allergy season again and I've been trying my best to keep my passages healthy. It seems my ears slowly get blocked, pain and ringing. Sinuses hurt. I know by experience most sinus infections are viral and believe me I don't want any antibiotics.
How do you tell the difference between viral and bacterial just in symptoms?
I have problems with my eustasian tubes and ENT recommends ear tubes. But I have so many reservations about it.
I hydrate, steam, rinse nose, allergy meds, nose spray, etc. It just keeps coming back. Sometimes antibiotics do help but they make me sick.
How do you deal with eustasian tube dysfunction??

Work with an allergist to address allergies or other reason of inflammation.

Steer clear from ENT and antibiotics. You are feeling inflammation not infection, 99% of the time.
