I have a hole in my ear and it hurts a lot sometimes. Can it heal on its own without surgery? What should I do about the pain?

Yes, a hole in the eardrum (perforated eardrum) often heals on its own without surgery, especially if it's a small hole. You'll want to keep the ear dry and protected while it heals, and over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help with pain

Question

I'm supposed to get a Tympanoplasty because both of my eardrums have holes. Do you know how much this might cost in Pune? Also, what kind of precautions do I need to take after the surgery, and how many days should I plan to take off work to recover?

Question

I've got this weird mass under my jaw on the right side, kind of in the submandibular area. There's a similar bump on the left too, but it's not as big or swollen. I'm wondering if it could be a tumor, or maybe it's just from a cold I've had recently? I feel fine overall and haven't noticed any other symptoms. Could it just be some swelling from being sick?

Question

I've been feeling really unwell with a heavy fever and body aches. My face, lips, and nose are swollen and painful, and I can't breathe through my nose because it's completely blocked. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
