Ear Congestion/Eustachian tube dysfunction

Hi All,

I am 33 year old male. For approx a week now I have ear congestion/Eustachian tube dysfunction in my left ear (right ear is fine).

The hearing in the left is very dull with slight ringing. The problem gets worse if I eat rice, yoghurt or drink milk or coffee.

There is no discharge from the ear. Also there is no pain.

My GP gave me steroid nasal spray which is not really helping. I have used it for a week now.

The affected ear feels fine when i lie down for a while but when i getup it slowly starts getting blocked.

Please help.
