How Can A Clogged Right Ear Causing Hearing Issues Be Treated?
may be eustachian tube dysfunction
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Based on the symptoms mentioned, you may have eustachian tube dysfunction. It does not sound like a tumor.
The eustachian tube is found in the ear, it links the middle ear to a certain aspect at the back of the throat.
It has different functions including: (1)ventilating and regulating the pressure in the middle ear
(2)protection of the middle ear from secretions
(3)clearance or drainage of middle ear secretions to the back of the throat
Eustachian tube dysfunction (abnormal function of the eustachian tube) can occur in different conditions including sinus disease.
Treatment typically consist of meds that you may be using already for your sinuses- decongestants, antihistamines and topical nasal steroids such as nasonex,nasocort, flonase.
Continuing trying to inflate the eustachian tube may also help (trying to pop the ears)
There are surgical options but these are only used if there is no improvement with medications.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
