A member asked:
Is it possible to have fluid problems in my eustachian tube and not the middle ear?.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible but unlikel: I can imagine that the obstruction of the eustachean tube may lead to fluid gravitated at the eustachean tube level but this is a highly unlikely scenario If you have had this problem for a long time, see an ENT and even a 2nd opinion if necessary.
