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.
Having pain and redness in throat from last 2 days.
Doing salt water gargle and taken Azithromycin ip500 yesterday night 1 tablet
There is redness in backside of mouth, the soft tissue area
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.
Now when I do very forceful vasalva menuvr I feel a little temporary relief from upper side of ear but down side is still feel stuck. Audiometry n typnogram shoes mixed hearing loss
My mother had eustachian tube dysfunction for one ear after flight travel and lasted for 2.5 months, we did valsalva exercise and steaming with not much help, and went ahead with Balloon eustachian dilation along grommet on both ears as both the ears felt clogged in few days.
Its been 2 weeks post the surgery and she still did not feel any difference in-fact the ears feels more clogged and hearing weird noise on both ears, also getting irritated to loud noise. Ears still feel full after 2 weeks.. sometimes if she speaks more the left ear feels more trapped of pressure..
Please help us, we need help!!
