Eustachian tube dysfunction is most commonly seen as narrowing, blockage and abnormal opening of the eustachian tube, which should be treated with medication and surgery according to the cause.
1. Eustachian tube stenosis or blockage: first of all, we need to find the cause of the disease, and according to the specific cause of the disease, we should take medication or surgical treatment.
(1) If the blockage of the Eustachian tube is caused by adenoid hypertrophy or inferior turbinate hypertrophy, it can be treated by medication (e.g. budesonide nasal spray) or adenoidectomy or partial ablation of the inferior turbinate;
(2) Eustachian tube inflammation resulting in congestion and edema of the Eustachian tube mucosa can be treated with anti-inflammatory glucocorticoids.
In addition to the treatment of Eustachian tube dysfunction itself, Eustachian tube dysfunction may cause secretory otitis media, which also requires active symptomatic treatment, such as oral eucalyptus, eucalyptus pinna, tympanocentesis, and balloon dilatation of the Eustachian tube is also feasible.
2. Abnormal opening of the Eustachian tube: clinically, the main treatment is to cauterize the pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube and carry out related training to alleviate the symptoms.
Patients with dysfunctional Eustachian tubes are advised to consult a hospital to identify the cause of the disease and under the guidance of a professional doctor to carry out active treatment, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
