Eustachian tube dyfx: You're probably describing Eustachian tube dysfunction, most likely a result of either allergies or common cold (upper respiratory infection). Some people find antihistamines & decongestants helpful. Check out http://familydoctor.org/familydoctor/en/diseases-conditions/eustachian-tube-dysfunction.html for more info.

A member asked:

I have ear tubes (myringotomy) and they still feel like they need to pop. Every time I swallow I hear clicking. Can my Eustachian tube be the issue and not the grommet? I can blow air through the grommet so it isnt clogged?
