What To Do If The Euchastion Tube Is Not Opening And Ears Are Blocked And Having Numbness In Nose?
I have had an issue with Euchastion tube not opening(neg ear pressure and fluid) for 7 weeks now. Saw ENT i have a deviated septum on that side? Been on sudafed, Flonase, Zpac, and Predisone. Still no relief. But, now my nose feels numb on that side. I have stopped all meds as of now just doing nasal rinses. Ear still blocked and nose feels like a novacaine numbness?

Hello
I would like to know whether you were advised any nasal surgery for the septal deviation! Since you have been on medications for more than 6 weeks now, i would like you to meet your ent doctor again for considering surgical correction of the septum. meanwhile , please continue your saline nasal irrigations. Thanks
