I'm having some major issues with my left ear that are really affecting my sleep. I found out I have a middle ear infection and after going through a bunch of tests like X-rays, blood work, an echocardiogram, ECG, and a CT scan of the mastoid, my doctor is suggesting a major surgery. Can you tell me what this surgery is called? I'm also really worried about any health risks that might come with it.

Question

I'm dealing with an earache and my doc suggested using Soliwax ear drops for my right ear. Can you tell me how often I should use them? Is it okay to use them five times a day?

I've been dealing with recurring fevers for the last three months, and it's really been a struggle. Ever since I was a kid, I've had issues with my tonsils. Anytime I'm exposed to cold weather, I end up with a fever, throat pain, and a cold. Recently, I also got typhoid, and although the medicines help for about ten days, the symptoms just keep coming back. This cycle has been repeating over and over, and I'm not sure what to do next. Can you offer any advice or solutions?

Question

I'm having this issue where water sometimes comes out of my left ear. It's been happening on and off for about two years now. I can't figure out why. The water has a really bad smell, and it's pretty gross. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?
