I have problems with eustachian tubes not draining for 2 years. tried antibiotics, steroids etc. today i feel something stuck in back of throat. ?

See a doctor: You may have a peritonsillar inflammation or something else going on in the area of the back of the throat called the nasopharynx/retropharynx which is creating obstruction to eustachian tube drainage. This needs to be evaluated and relieved. An ENT doctor might be needed.
