Hi, jaw movement exercises and valsalva manoeuver helps in keeping the Eustachian tube(ET) open and helps in ears with fluid. Swallowing movements help in better functioning of ET and helps in better ventilation of middle ear and resolution of fluid collection. Mucolytics should also used in such patients. Regards
