congested/blockage of the eustachian tube

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your question on HealthcareMagic,

I do understand your concern...

As per your clinical history is concerned you are using [Flonase] since last 2 months. It is a very long time and should not be used for such a long time. You can follow a few natural methods which might help you open the blockage like :-

1) Do take a bowl of water and boil it and add few drops of peppermint or eucalyptus essential oil to it and inhale the steam by covering your head. Do it every 4-6 hours until you get the benefit.

2) Giving warm compression over nose and forehead may help you open your blockage.

3) Use of saline drops or spray in each nostril every 2 hours will be helpful too.

Hope that helps
Let me know if I can assist you further.
