The eustachian tube is a tube about 35mm long that connects the middle ear to the nasopharynx. The function of eustachian tubes is to equalize the pressure between the middle ear and the surrounding atmosphere. Another function of the eustachian tube is to drain the mucus from the middle ear. Eustachian tubes may get blocked because of various infections. The infections may be those of the ear or upper respiratory tract. Cold, nasal allergies and sinusitis are some main reasons related to eustachian tube blockage.

Hi,
I’ve been dealing with eustachin Tube dysfunction for about 10 weeks.
No pain, or dizziness. No hearing loss. Just a clogged/plugged feeling at times. Also a crackly sound when I’m chewing.
I’m currently on Kali Mar 200c. It has gotten a little better,
But it won’t resolve completely. I was wondering if there is anything else that might help. I’m also on Lipomatrix, Bromelain, and NAC.
Thank you
I have some ear blockage in left ear from the last 8 months and now it become expand to the right ear also.
I am on SERC 16 mg tablet, without Sarc i feel dazzing, Chakers, vomiting etc. is it due to Eustachian Tube Blockage?
Any remedy in homeopathic?
I’m hoping you can guide me.
I am 65 and have a history of fluid in my left ear usually in the fall. I’m sure it’s allergy related. Often I will lose partial hearing in my left ear for sometimes up to 3 months or so. Recently I had the coronavirus and since I have fluid in both ears! My hearing is diminished. Several years ago, an ear, nose and throat doctor put a butterfly tube in my left ear and it helped, but fell out after about 8-10 years. Can you suggest a remedy?
Thank you.
My 10 year old son was diagnosed with Eustachian tube dysfunction at the age of 8. We’ve done tubes in the ears 4 times and he’s also had tympaniplasty with mastoidectomy. We are about to go in and do tubes again this week. He constantly has thick wax in his ears the doctor removes at visit. Is there anything I can do for him homeopathic. I’m leaning more towards natural healing than just going to the operating room every time.
Thanks

Dear Dr. Sharma – 3 yrs, ago I was on an airplane that had to descend/land super quick & landed hard -then we sat in thunder & lightning for 3 hrs. on the tarmack. 24 hrs. later my life changed – at 1st I was like under water for months – that went away but my ears still hurt.. Even with ear tubes in now I get ear pressure -headaches /migraines but not bad ones & have 40% sensorial hearing loss – I get very stuffed up at nite… No ear drainage or vertigo . I tried allergy shots – seemed to make me in more pain. I now have my 2nd set of ear tubes – even though no “drainage” ( 2 diff. dr’s) . waking up in the morning I never know how I will feel. Things have gotten “better so to speak ” in the 3 years since this happened. But its a struggle every day. I have been to many many different dr’s /specialists at many well thought of places near my home. But no one has any answers. I would so appreciate any suggestions you might have. And I hope I have explained this well . I have tried many scripts- steroids & over the counter products but the only things that r helping me now r : Imitrex – Xanax ( which I already had for migraines that had been under control before the plane incident. and lately an over the counter ( homeopathic I think) called NasalCrom that seems to help. Also have an air purifier & just got a HUmidifier ( that may be helping) . I do have allergies but taking shots for over 2 yrs. didn’t help. My eyes itch but its not as bad as it was and I get stuffed up at nite. The weather & barometric changes bother me a lot ( much like migraines can do). Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated .. TKU so much for listening. Cathy

Dear Dr Sharma,
I have been diagnosed with Eustachian tube dysfunction and prescribed Beconase nasal spray. However I am uneasy at using this as I see there is a risk of glaucoma/cataracts both of which are in my family. I haven’t been told how long I should use the spray for and also the likelihood of problems with my eyes. My glaucoma levels are consistently low and no cataracts. The only symptom I have is blocked (ears) and I would much prefer to use a homeopathic medicine for this – can you suggest the most appropriate one for me. please.
Thank you.
