The Eustachian tube connects the middle ear with the nasal-sinus cavity. When clogged fluid builds up in the middle ear. Autoinflation with a nasal balloon [1] can facilitate middle ear ventilation in children by opening the Eustachian tube.
Please consult a paediatrician, a general practitioner or an ear, nose and throat specialist before use.
Be sure to thoroughly remove all print residue before use. Can be printed without any supports.
