Hi. My ear has been blocked for a month now after I travelled by flight. I was also suffering from cold during my journey. ENT specialist suggested that my ear drum is blocked because of the same and prescribed gupisone prednisopone 5mg 2 tablets thrice a day for 3 days and then 2 tablets twice a day for two days and end with 2 tablets once a day for 2 days. Is this OK as these are steroids?
