Otoscopic examination shows clear external auditory canals and the right tympanic membrane appears mildly retracted but intact. Tuning fork testing demonstrates that sound is heard more prominently in the right ear when the fork is placed on the forehead, and air conduction is worse than bone conduction in the right ear. The patient denies dizziness, vertigo, otalgia, tinnitus, or focal neurologic symptoms. The patient reports mild nasal congestion. Vital signs are normal. What is the best management at this time?
