Hi, my names Ryan. I ve had a blocked euthracian tube in my left ear for about 2 weeks that developed from a sore throat 3 weeks ago. I went to the GP and he prescribed me a 5 course on amoxicillin, but it s turned out I had a viral ear infection. I have a constant ringing for 2 weeks, and the pressure in my ear had reduced quite a bit, but it tends to be in the evenings when my ear gets a bit stuffy and I can hearmy voice in my head, when I pinch my nose and close my mouth and blow it pops and crackles. I think my the pressure in my ear is reducing a little bit every day but the ringinging remains constant. I m using decongestants when I get a bit stuffy which tends to be first thing in the morning and loads of steam baths. How long do etds take to clear up? And once the tube opens up again how long before the symptons die down like the pressure feeling and ringing? I keep doing the valsalva technique, and I have done it hard once or twice, but it hasn t increased my symptons. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I m trying to stay positive but I find myself teetering on the edge of a break down some times.
