Ear barotrauma. tried anithist. antibod. and even steriod drop. what else can i do?

From what activity?: It may take a couple of weeks for the damages from the barotrauma to resolve. I used to get it after SCUBA and nothing other than time could heal it. For barotrauma from plane flights, keeping the nasal passages patent with nasal steroid and a nasal decongestant spray for 3-4 days often hastens the recovery.
