How do you unblock or reduce swelling of eustachian tube!? an how long does it usually take
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not easy: Eustachian tube blockage is usually reversible and is often caused by viral infections of the nose and back of nose. Nasal sprays and decongestants are rarely helpful. I would consult an ENT doctor for diagnosis and treatment. Sometimes, if you have had many ear infections in childhood, the ET blockage may be long lasting.
