Question

I was just diagnosed with cholesteatoma in my left ear and currently using ciplox ear drops for pus discharge. Wondering if surgery can be delayed for a while what are the risks if I put it off? How long is it safe to wait before getting the procedure done?

Question

I've been dealing with tonsil stones for about a year now and keep finding small stones in my tonsils. I've managed to remove some, but the outer ones won't budge. Sometimes it feels like something's stuck in my throat. I don't have ear pain, fever, trouble swallowing, or a sore throat just a dry throat. What can I do to relieve this without surgery? I gargle with Betadine daily. Could this be chronic tonsillitis?
