Good Morning, I have had blocked Eustachian Tubes for 3 weeks, and a respiratory cold for two weeks before that. According to your causes and symptoms list, Kali Mur may help. I do not usually take medications and just let things run their course. This blockage is so bothersome I reached out to my PCP. I first tried Sudafed. It did not work then a saw a NP and she prescribed Fluticasone Propionate Nasal spray. I have taken this spray once per day for 3 days with little relief. What do you recommend?
Thank you for any support.
Dear Dr. Sharma,
I’m not sure which homeopathic to try for my blocked left Eustachian tube. As a child I had many ear infections and I suffer some hearing loss. Last week I had a cold with nasal congestion and discharge, followed by plugging of the Eustachian tube of my left ear with severe hearing loss for the last 6 days. My nose is clear now. I can “pop” my ear with pinching my nostrils and a val saliva. But the hearing does not return. I do not have any other symptoms such as tinnitus or vertigo, or discharge from the ear. Minimum postnasal drip. I have tried acupressure and am taking Amoxicillin in case of infection. I am refraining from dairy products.
Hi Doctor,
I am Naresh Kumar, 73years, vegetarian, prediabetic, no BP. I have feeling of fullness in my ear – sort of some pressure. I got check up from a local ENT. He prescribed me antibiotic and nasal drop. But this did not help. I have white mucus in my throat in night which I spit out when I go to toilet.
No other complication.
Please advise me a suitable medicine.
Thanks and regards,
Naresh
