Eustachian Tube Dysfunction
Hi, I was diagnosed with Eustachian tube dysfunction in 2002. When younger I used to get a lot of ear infections. When I fly my ears don't pop, they hurt a lot during take-off and landing, and most of the time I remain deaf for several weeks after, but this usually resolves itself. I have not had ear infection or any serious ear problems in several years. The problem I am experiencing now started about 7 weeks ago. It started as an upper respiratory infection (as diagnosed by doctor) with severe dry cough, some sinus congestion, and left ear got clogged. Doctor prescribed antibiotic (5 days). It appears that antibiotic cleared left ear congestion and inflammation, but I still have to pinch nose, close mouth and blow in order for ear to pop. Sometimes it immediately gets clogged again, but it does feel better than before. Immediately after this improvement right ear got clogged. Cough also changed from dry to phlegm. Doctor prescribed Amoxicillin, I took for 10 days. This helped a little with the cough. Phlegm has reduced significantly. Right ear continues to be clogged. Went to ENT last week, he looked in my right ear and saw that there is fluid trapped behind eustachian tube, and tube is inflamed. He recommended surgery, which I will not do. He also suggested that I suffer from allergies, and that this may be cause for congestion. He prescribed 6 days of Methylprednisone. I will be taking last pill tomorrow morning. I notice no difference other than a little moisture inside ear, not sure if fluid is slowly draining out? I still feel pressure. I can't hear much out of my right side. I do experience piercing pain sometimes when I move head. ENT also prescribed nasal spray along with an antihistamine that I am supposed to start tomorrow after last Methylprednisone pill. I am tired of all of this medication and getting absolutely no relief. If you could suggest any homeopathic medicine, I would greatly appreciate it. After reading some forums I purchased Calcarea Sulphurica 6c and Kali muriaticum 30c, but I decided to wait and consult with you on this forum. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not sure if I should start the nasal spray tomorrow. I have a follow up visit on Aug. 24th with ENT.I am 37, female, petite, 5'2", 114lb. I have dairy and egg allergies. I am anemic, but otherwise healthy.
Also purchased a probiotic today, since I've been taking so many antibiotics I am trying to prevent yeast infection, but I am not sure if this is ok to take with homeopathic medicine.
Any other info I should provide?
Thank you,

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
You may take calc sulph 6c and Kali Mur 30C twice a day for 7 days and see how that affects. You may continue with other medicines if you want to do that.

Thank you very much for your reply. How many pellets should I take each time? And should the two doses for each medication be taken at the same time, or should I give some time between calc sulph and Kali mur?
Thank you.
Thank you.
