A member asked:
Can drinking a lot of water cause fluid in your eustachian tube to be worse? how many bottles of poland spring water is okay to drink?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The Eustachian tube is just that a tube. It connects the inner ear to the back of the throat. No fluid stays in it. Drink enough so that you urinate mostly clear. If you are nauseous from drinking water it is too much. There is no magic number of bottles of water. The 8 glasses a day is not based in science.

Why would suddenly I have trouble swallowing? I don't have trouble swallowing water just when I try to swallow naturally. I don't believe it's GERD I have none of the other symptoms. I have had trouble with my eustachian tubes being blocked though?
