History: I have been diagnosed with Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD). It has been 28 days now, and my ear symptoms are feeling better than before.
Current Medicine: For this, I have been taking Monticope tablet once daily for the last 14 days.
New Symptoms (Side Effects):
I am experiencing sleep paralysis (unable to move while waking up/sleeping).
Continuous hand muscle twitching starting from last night.
Feeling severely depressed or low mood (mood off).
Since Monticope contains Montelukast, I am worried about these neuropsychiatric side effects. Since my ETD is improving, please suggest a safe alternative medicine or nasal spray to replace Monticope. Thank you.
Feb end I got cold n was having sinus issues also so I was putting ghee in nose n after putting ghee I slept n felt little heavy in ear next morning.
So took cheston cold for 2 days but no relief so consulted ENT after 1 month who advised EEBAS 20 and EVEBRO N for 5 days but still no relief so extended the course for 7 days of EEBAS 20, EVEBRO N, DECA 6, RUTHBRO D AND CFX CV along with karvol plus steam . Then suggested OTOCAP VT and ODIMONT LC for 7 days but still no relief. He checked ear from device and outer drum is clean
Attaching typnogram and audiometry reports
Left Ear feeling heavy, tinitus n fullness from Feb 2026.
Doctor prescribed 10 days twice a day- eebas 20, deca 6 , RUTHBRO, AZIBRO LMT and combinase FT spray twice a day. Along with steam karvol plus once a day . Felt 60% better but again after swimming again ear felt full n heavy. So again same course was repeated for 15 days along with 5 days of Otocap VT n Levocitrizine.
