Description: Cetirizine, a second-generation antihistamine, can help relieve Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD) caused by allergies by reducing nasal and Eustachian tube inflammation. By blocking histamine, it helps decrease mucus production and swelling, potentially improving Eustachian tube drainage and reducing ear pressure. However, it does not provide immediate relief and is most effective when used regularly for allergy-related ETD rather than for short-term congestion.

Treatment For:

AI generated Summary: Based on the single review provided by Dr. Curbside, Cetirizine appears to be a useful adjunct treatment for Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD) caused by allergies. As a non-sedating antihistamine, it effectively reduces mucus production and can help prevent congestion-related blockages when used consistently, although it doesn't provide immediate relief or directly open the Eustachian tubes.
