A member asked:

Spasm of the back of the nose is a sign of eustachian tube dysfunction?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No, but close.: Signs of eustachian tube dysfunction are ear congestion, ear popping, difficulty hearing, and ear pain. This is caused by nasal tissue swelling, which is also a cause of stuffy nose.
