Eustachian tube issues?
Question:
Answers:
Decongestants will alleviate your symptoms by shrinking the tissue in your eustacian tube, thus allowing the fluid to drain through it into your throat. Myringotomy tubes are done to alleviate infection of the middle ear, not to drain uninfected fluid.
go to a principled family chiropractor, see if you have a problem with your Atlas area.
it is a common problem and encountered when u have a cold
easy ways to get rid of the problem are
1.inhale steam
2.close both nostrils with ur fingers and blow ur cheeks
3.use decongestant nasal drops
4.take plenty of warm fluids
if this does not help in about 10 days meet ur doc and discuss about myringotomy
When my daughter was 17 months old, she had tubes put in her ears because she had chronic ear infections (same symptons as you). She started getting them at 4 months old and got them every month. I had to get a referral from our family doctor to a ENT. It was the best decision I ever made .
Definition
Eustachian tube patency refers to how much the eustachian tube is open. The eustachian tube runs between the middle ear and the throat. This tube regulates the pressure around the ear drum.
Patency is the normal state of the eustachian tube. Ear infections or altitude changes can increase pressure in the ear, causing the eustachian tube to become blocked.
Alternative Therapies
An alternative method of relieving the pain felt by an earache is to have a physician or chiropractor perform endonasal therapy, which is a useful form of local treatment for catarrh problems. Endonasal therapy is a basic treatment used to initiate the draining and cleansing processes necessary to remove congestion in the Eustachian tubes.
