Brief Answer: please meet an allergy specalist Detailed Answer: Hello Your case seems to be related to your allergy!! Due to allergy your eustachian tube is getting blocked ( this is a normal tube between the nose and the ear) resulting in your symptoms. You will have to meet an allergy specialist , who will find out what exactly you are allergic to and guide you further. There are many medications for allergy including the fluticasone spray , which is very effective and you should continue using it. Please meet your allergy specialist he will examine you and he will be in the best position to explain to you the usage and duration of any other medications that you may require. Take care
