A member asked:
Ent thinks my t-tube is blocked due to abnormal typanometry and prescribed prednisolone eye drops to unblock the tube. is this standard treatment?

No: I don't see how prednisolone eye drop could relieve the eustachean tube obstruction unless it is used in the nose. However there are far better options than using an eye prep for the nasal area. This makes no sense anatomically or physiologically.
