A member asked:
Stuffy ringing ear for 2 weeks. dr said eustachian dysfunction. taking decongestant but not working. what next? could it be a tumor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nasal spray: Saline can help some. Afrin or neosynephrine (phenylephrine) may decongest inner eustachian tube site. If persists, may need ear drum tube. Myringotomy by ent tumor is low possibility.
