Suggest Treatment For Mucus And Fluid Build Up In Ears

She need investigation and medication.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. Get her Pure Tone Audiogram (PTA) and an Impedance Audiogram(I/A or Tympanogram) done.
2. These tests will reveal any conductive hearing loss due to fluid build-up in the ear and the amount of fluid in the ears. Any age related hearing loss will also be seen.
3. There is a role for a CT scan of the sinuses and temporal bones. Sinusitis that causes the post nasal mucus drip that she has to constantly spit out and mastoiditis that does not allow the ear to heal can be ruled out.
4. Eustachian tube dysfunction can also be diagnosed on the Impedance Audiometry.
5. An anti-allergic, mucolytic, decongestants, anti-inflammatory medications (including a short course of steroids -if not contraindicated) and steam inhalation will help relieve her symptoms.
6. Upload these test results for further treatment options. If possible get endoscopic images of her era drums and upload them here.
I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any more questions I will be available to answer them.
Regards.
