A member asked:
How long does it take for eustachion tube dysfunction from allergies to go away with antihistamines and steroid nasal sprays?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: The opening depends on the patency at the nasopharyngeal area. Antihistamines by mouth do not decongest the nasopharyngeal area although nasal steroid if aimed laterally often does. The optimal decongesting effect from nasal steroid is at 5-7 day of daily use. If the problem persists, consult an allergist.
