A member asked:

Whats the best medicine to unblock eustachian tubes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tincture of time=patience. I know of no medication that reliably opens a Eustachian tube. Oral steroids and antihistamines have been tried in the past with inconsistent results. The baseline normal is for them to be clear and the body usually sorts it out in time.
