Hi all,
looking for some more medical advice regarding my ears. I've finally managed to see an ENT and he suspects that I'm suffering from eustacian tube disfunction and that it is the root of my ear pressure problems and tinnitus. My hearing is still within the normal range and I'll have an MRI done to rule out more serious problems. He's prescribed Nasonex (mometasone furoate monohydrate) and I will see him again in 6 weeks time.
Here are my questions:
1) Can someone give me a layman's explanation of what eustacian tube disfunction is? My ENT rushed me out of the office rather quickly so I didn't receive an explanation that I understood (he mentioned muscular tension and difficult to treat).
2) What will Nasonex do to my vocal cords? My ENT said it should not affect me since it is a topical spray, but I would appreciate some confirmation on that.
Thank you! Ingo
