Hi Chris,
Though I am no longer flying, I've been dealing with plugged Eustachian
tubes for the past three months. I went to an ENT specialist, who said I
had fluid in my ears. He prescribed a week of steroids along with a
decongestant, but nothing changed very much. I have also tried
antihistimines, because this condition is often allergy-related, and that
did offer some help, but the tubes are still not clear. Wish I could find
the magic cure!
