Eustachian tube blockage

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcare Magic and thanks for putting up the query
Nasal or throat infection can cause eustachian tube blockage leading to middle ear infection or fullness of the ears.
Take tablet levocetrizine plus psuedophedrine twice daily and xylometazoline nasal drops three times a day for a week.
Take steam inhalation and chew a gum that will help to decongest the tube and relieve the symptoms.
All the medicine prescribed by me will be available only on prescription.
Take care
Thanks and regards
