Hi my name is Saoirse, I m 17 and currently on holiday skiing in Andorra. I suffer from Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (self-diagnosed however I have had many problems like this before so I am quite confident of this), and while skiing down a slope earlier this morning my right ear became blocked. I have tried swallowing, yawning, blowing with a closed mouth and nose, and nothing has worked. I have a cold and therefore am quite sure I have a build up of catarrh in my eustachian tube as this happened during my last skiing trip and I was told by a doctor this was the case. I am due to fly back to Ireland tomorrow morning and so am quite worried about the flight and a possible rupture in my eardum if I fly? I have taken a decongestant tablet (more than an hour ago) and am inhaling olbas oil however nothing seems to be working. Is there anything else I should do and am I safe to fly tomorrow?

Suggest Remedies For Eustachian Tube Dysfunction
You need decongestant nose drops, and antibiotics. If untreated it may lead to secretory otitis media which may cause decreased hearing.
