Hi,
What is likely to be better, Carbocisteine or Guaifenesin? How long before you see a result? How many times the normal dose should someone with a blocked ET take?
What I can’t get my head around is, if the mucous is trapped inside the ear and can’t get back down the Eustachian Tube, how can a drug thin it out? Surely, if the mucous is trapped, it’s trapped - how can a drug alter its composition?
I'm also struggling to get my head around the 'venturi' concept mentioned earlier. Is the fellow simply stating that he sniffs in a very hard manner, with long breaths?
I appreciate all the caveats stated previously – I’m in the care of trained pros. Unfortunately, it does appear that solving these kind of ENT problems is somewhat of a black art, even to those with letters after their names…
