5. Saline nasal spray
Is another treatment you can use at home to treat Eustachian tube dysfunction. Saline nasal spray helps with nasal congestion, which will help to open up the eustachian tubes.
The nasal spray works so well that once the body gets used to it, it doesn’t seem to work anymore. So, it’s best to use it for no more than three days. The eustachian tubes may be open by then. The reason saline nasal spray works so well is that it will drain any fluid that is in the ears into the throat, which will be eliminated. Once the fluid is eliminated, the eustachian tubes are allowed to open.
When you use a nasal spray, use it according to the package directions. If you use it more often than directed, it can cause more problems. Using it more often isn’t going to make your eustachian tube dysfunction go away quicker.
