Help with Eustation Tube Dysfunction

[kidnurse81]

Hello.  My fiance has been suffering with eustation tube dysfunction for a little over 6mths. now.  We have tried numerous decongestants and nasal sprays as well as a round of steroids.  His ENT did allergy testing on him, however, he did not have any significant allergies.  Our last resort was to have PE tubes placed.  This only made his symptoms worse and they took them out after a couple of weeks.  Suprisingly after they took the tubes out and his ears were healing, he was symptom free.  When the holes closed up he began with the same symptoms all over again.  He has constant pressure in both ears, a fluid-like feeling (though the doctors say there is no fluid), and a stuffy nose.  He is completely miserable and losing all hope of getting better.  We are at a loss.  He has thought about having the PE tubes put back in and giving it a little longer this time to see if they will help.  We are both scared and upset and have no idea what to do at this point.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Is there any other treatment at all for this disorder??
Thank you so much,
Amy

lay down and place a Ice pack on the back of your neck.  It will take a few minutes, but it will open up the euastatian tubes and your ears will open up.  It will happen again, but use the ice pack again.  Also use nose spray and that will eventually clear up your ears.

I am going through exactly the same problem, I cant stand heights, I have diahrrea all the time, I lost half of my left ear's  hearing, now my other ear drum has burst, and there is mucus behind my ears, I am absolutely sick and tired of life itself, I have done all the test, they are all fine, so I  guess it must be my sinuses, thank you for sharing Jim.

Hi,

Please take:-
1. MERC DULCIS 30 (Drops)
Take half a cup of water, put 3-4 drops in it and drink.
Take caution not to eat anything 30 minutes before or after it.
You may repeat the medication 2-3 times a day

2. KALI MUR. 6x
Pills 3-4 pallets/Pills,2-3 times a day  

The Drops reduces inflammation of the Eustachian tube membranes and also of Sinus linings. Resulting in Mucous flowing out,  Usually in a week you should be better. In-case your problem is recurrent or Chronic, you might want to take:-

1. Kali-Sulphuricum 30-C
2. Pulsatilla Nigricans 30-C (for Glue ear issues, Sticky mucous. Later Stages).

3. Belladonna 30c Drops (Early Stages of Ear Issue)
Nightshade herb family. Very powerful medicine for when there is pain in
ear especially right-sided. Take 2-3 drops only in half cup of water.
Symptoms:- intense pain with redness of the middle and external ear.

Kali Muriaticum and Pulsatilla are very helpful for cases of “glue ear,” which is a painless condition where thick, sticky fluid collects behind the eardrum [also known as silent Otitis media or Otitis media with effusion]. The fluid can cause impaired hearing, leading to delayed speech and development. One or both of these remedies in low potency over a period of months, along with a constitutional remedy to build-up the immune system.

I am struggling with a blocked right ear and vertigo whenever I try to rest.  I am trying Flonase but I don't like taking medicine because I am breast feeding.  Two nights ago I had to go to the ER for severe vertigo and vomiting.  I was given an I.V. with Benadryl and zofran.  I was able to get up yesterday but the vertigo came back last night .  Much better during the day but I'm worn out from not sleeping well and very anxious. Any advice?

I've recently had surgery (myringotomy with grommet insertion) and my ETD is starting to clear up. The surgery is still no guarantee - I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties with this. It took three ENTs, five doctors and a year of suffering and fighting before I finally got this treatment. It is not a magic bullet, but I've noticed that the tinnitus associated with my ETD has improved significantly.
