Help with Eustation Tube Dysfunction

Hello.  My fiance has been suffering with eustation tube dysfunction for a little over 6mths. now.  We have tried numerous decongestants and nasal sprays as well as a round of steroids.  His ENT did allergy testing on him, however, he did not have any significant allergies.  Our last resort was to have PE tubes placed.  This only made his symptoms worse and they took them out after a couple of weeks.  Suprisingly after they took the tubes out and his ears were healing, he was symptom free.  When the holes closed up he began with the same symptoms all over again.  He has constant pressure in both ears, a fluid-like feeling (though the doctors say there is no fluid), and a stuffy nose.  He is completely miserable and losing all hope of getting better.  We are at a loss.  He has thought about having the PE tubes put back in and giving it a little longer this time to see if they will help.  We are both scared and upset and have no idea what to do at this point.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Is there any other treatment at all for this disorder??
Thank you so much,
Amy

Hi pleahn, how are your sinuses now?

I also get the neti pot water up in my ears when I use it. It's a bit of a catch 22 because your sinuses are swollen from inflammation and infection so the water that you put in your sinuses doesn't drain well. But if you don't flush out the infection with saline your symptoms will get worse.

When my ears are plugged (as recommended by my Dr.) I plug my nose and gently blow air into my ears to equalize the air pressure in them. This promotes drainage. I repeat this procedure many times during the day when I have an infection. It also helps to dry out the ear canal and Eustachian tube.
Since my last posting I have discovered that a few drops of colloidal silver 3-4 times a day in my sinuses is the quickest way to heal an infection. I  put the drops in my nostril and tilt my head and let in run back into my sinuses and towards my ear canal.

I also supplement with oil of oregano and garlic taken internally. I 100% agree with Jim Bean that my sinuses and ear problems are caused by poor posture which for me was caused by a cole of accidents. As well as allergies which only ad to the issue. I recommend reading through these posts for further advice. Also, try massage on the neck and jaw for drainage

I have a question regarding the neti pot. Ive used it before and when the water went into my nose the water also went into my ears for a little. It felt uncomfortable bed my ears are very clogged up and feel like they are in a vacuum.
