Suggest Treatment For Faulty Eustachian Tube While Experiencing Recurrent Rhinitis And Vertigo
Hi please can you tell me if there is any treatment for a faulty eustachian tube in right ear. I have developed rhinitus symptons being treated with Beconase for now but long term is difficult as it recurs. I have tried antihistamines but cinnarazine made me very tired beta histamine worked also but not always. I fear the leylandi trees in my garden arnt helping either as encroaching the house. I have had severe vertigo at times which cannot be named menieres as I dont have all the characteristics. I suffer dizzinness a lot and dryeyes which I have drops for. I would be grateful for any advice at all.

Hello,
It is quite common for Eustachian tube dysfunction to cause recurrent rhinitis. Take antihistamines (cetirizine or diphenhydramine) and decongestants to help control the symptoms. If you are suffering from soreness, inflammation and pain you can take Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen, one stat after food. Be careful while bathing, do not let water enter your ears.
Avoid swimming pools till you are getting your ears treated. Get your ears clinically examined by an ENT. If needed, you will be recommended to get done myringotomy. You will be treated with antibiotics, analgesics, multivitamin containing potassium, magnesium, folic acid, etc.
In the meantime, take Vertin-16, twice daily for 5-7 days to help prevent the symptoms of dizziness and vertigo. Treatment may take some time to reduce the symptoms, avoid driving or doing any heavy work. stay at rest as you are being treated. Do not neglect yourself, it will result in the worsening of the symptoms.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
