Advice about discomfort in ear with eustachian tube

[hawee8]

I've had a Eustachian tube in my left hear for a couple years and recently it starting to bother me. Ear feels itchy, and will hear bubble pop sound and when I pressed down on the outer flap that covers the ear hole sounds and feels like there's water or fluid in my ear. Can i go to my ent and ask if he can pump that out? I went with this issue a couple months and they did a culture of the fluid and gave me antibiotic drops and oral medication. It helps but this happens over and over again.

It's called Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD).  Don't be upset with your ENT because there is no proven effective treatment for ETD, but now that you know the name you can search for some relief.
