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.

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!!
