Can A Chronically Blocked Eustachian Tube Cause A Cyst?

It turns out I had a huge infection beneath a crown in one of my molars. I just had the ccrown and tooh removed today. There was a 6 mm cyst on one root. In the meantime, I have had a chronically blocked right eustachian tube (same side as the bad tooth). Could there be any link?

Hello:)Welcome to HCM.

Yes,infection and pain can be radiated towards the ear.You got the tooth removed and the infection source is removed.

You must have a full course of antibiotics prescribed by your dentist.
Also,consult your physician regarding this.
Ask your dentist if the removed tooth can be replaced for a better chewing ability.
