Question

My mom is 60 and has perforated eardrums. The doctor said surgery isn't an option at her age and only medicines can help. How serious is this and can it be completely cured with just meds?

Question

For the past 12 years, I've had this issue where one nostril is always blocked while the other works, and they keep switching throughout the day. I also get frequent colds and nasal congestion almost 15 days every month. Right now, I rely on Allegra, saline sprays, and Flutira decongestants, but it's not a permanent fix. Could this be something that surgery can cure? What's the best long-term treatment for this?
