Hi all, wondering if anyone has any suggestions for clearing blocked eustacian tubes in ears?  I have tried everything and have had this recent bout for 3 weeks after having flu.  Many thanks.

    Buy an ear popper (through amazon) to unblocik this year. Then if it is caused by acid reflux, as it usually is, hange your diet or get the splincter made stronger otherwise it happens over and over again.

    how about a menthol steam? some drops of menthol (available from chemist) added to hot (not boiling) water in a bowl. drape a towel over your head (to focus the steam towards you) and breathe in the vapours. make sure not too hot or you'll burn your face. is an old remedy but seems to work for me.

      menthol steaming helps with ear wax notwith mucus or fluid.
