I'm really worried because my wife has a hole in her eardrum and we're trying to avoid surgery if possible. Is there any way this can heal with medication or tablets, without having to go through an operation?

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 had abnormally large tonsils for a while and tonsil stones before, so I know what those are like. But now I've found this hard white lump deep beneath the skin, and it seems like it's gotten a bit bigger over the past month. I'm just wondering what this could be and if it's something I should be concerned about?

Question

I'm finding that there's this continuous buildup of mucus in my throat, and I have to clear it a lot. It's kind of uncomfortable and I'm starting to get a little worried about it. Is this something I should be concerned about? What could be causing it, and is there anything I can do to get rid of it?
