I have been to an ent and eustachian tube is clogged. it's been clogged for about 4 months. the ent gave nasonex (mometasone) and nothing had changed. help?

See allergist: Although nasal steroids such as Nasonex (mometasone) often help relieve nasal congestion, the wrong technique often renders it less effective. Be sure you aim the nozzle towards the ear side of the nose and , contrary to what the package insert says, don't breathe the aerosol in while spraying. It will take a few days to work. If this didn't , ask your doctor to consider using dymista.
