You may have noticed that I haven’t blogged in several days and that I haven’t been on Twitter much. Reason is because I have been sick with a really bad hacking cough and a blocked Eustachian tube. If you haven’t experienced this yet, well it sucks. It all started last Sunday, Pro Bowl Sunday, not Super Bowl Sunday. My right ear began to feel clogged and couldn’t really hear out of it. I went to the medical clinic and they basicaly put me on amoxicyllin and Mucinex D. After a week, that did nothing at all. It has now been over a week and now both ears are clogged and I can’t really hear out of either ear. I now feel pretty much deaf. I don’t know what to do because each visit to the doctor is $130 cash.
A few people have suggested to use the Neti Pot, and I think today I am going to try it because nothing else has seemed to work, except make it worse. I am just nervous to use or try something that I have never used before. I know that it is good for sinuses, but does it work for a blocked Eustachian tube also? My nose is not runny or clogged at all, I have no sinus affects in my nose like I usually do. It is all in my ears, so is this going to work for that?
This post is really short today, but I just wanted to get as much feedback as possible so I know I’m making the right decision.

HI I stumbled upon this by looking up Eustachian tube dysfunction. And, I wanted to add my two cents. I have to say that steam is great for it as well. Whether you use jump in the shower or get a humidifier it does help.
