Title: What cures right ear infection/eustacian tube dysfunction? Post by: smox89 on Jan 31, 2013 My doc prescribed me prednisone, which should only help bring down the swelling and bacterial infection, but what are some medicines that would actually cure a right ear infection?

Adenoids are lymphatic tissue around the eustachian tube- this can get infected, swell and block drainage from the middle ear, which then gets infected. Or it can simply overgrow and block the tube. Removing that tissue gets rid of the obstruction, allows drainage. He will probably talk to you about it when you have recovered.

You may need to have pressure equalizing tubes placed in your ear to allow for drainage. |
