Would Bee Pollen Supplements Cause Blocked Eustachian Tubes?
Posted by: Alan in Hay Fever, tags: Blocked, Cause, Eustachian, Pollen, Supplements, Tubes, Would
I have never suffered from hay fever and am not suffering from it now. I got a cold before Christmas and after New Year found I had an ear infection (fluid behind eardrums). Somewhere in between, I started taking bee pollen supplements. The doctor has told me my Eustachian tubes are blocked. What caused this? The cold or the bee pollen? My nose is not blocked or running and my eyes are fine.

No the bee pollen is not the cause, it is the cold. Mucos and inflamation cause the blockage. Dry up the tubes by taking antihistimine like Benadryl, or allery medicine. I take the Benadryl at night cause it can make you sleepy. Once you dry it up the swelling will go down and your ears should go back to normal in a week or two?
If you have pain in ears…go see a ear nose throat doctor.

i don’t think that would cause it. My sons tubes were blocked because he had big adenoids in the back of his nasel passage/throat, which was causeing him to have pretty much back to back to back ear infections. He just had his tonsils and his adenoids out and they put tubes in his ears to help prevent the infections, i guess, so if you keep getting ear infections i would talk to the doctor and have him check out your adenoids. good luck
