Question

I've noticed that sometimes when I bend my neck or look down, water suddenly comes out through my nose. I'm a bit concerned and wondering if this could be something serious. Is this something I should be worried about?

You may be experiencing a condition called cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea, where cerebrospinal fluid leaks through the nose. This can be caused by a skull base fracture or a tear in the membrane surrounding the brain. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. Medications such as acetazolamide and gabapentin may be prescribed to reduce the production of cerebrospinal fluid.

Question

So I've been dealing with a perforated eardrum, and my ENT mentioned it should heal with time. They gave me antibiotics, Himalaya Oxitard, and Vertin 8 mg to help out. My ear feels much better now, but there's still this ringing sound that comes and goes. Vertin seems to really help with it. Do you think it's alright for me to keep taking Vertin 8 mg and Himalaya Oxitard for a while longer?
