How can I improve my eardrum condition after surgery? I'm worried about the recovery process and what steps I should take to make sure it heals properly. Are there specific things I should avoid or any treatments that could help speed up the healing?

Keep your ear dry and avoid swimming, showering, and submerging your head in water for at least two weeks after your procedure. Use ear drops or ointment as directed by your doctor. Avoid activities that may cause trauma to your ears, such as playing flying in airplane, loud music, swimming without cap etc.

I've had this throat ulcer for three days now and I'm on medication for it, with tablets like olise, cipt, cetgo, and zincoplex. I'm just not sure how long it's going to take for the ulcers to heal. Plus, I'm struggling to speak properly now, and even when I try to shout, my voice is really faint. Should I be worried about my voice, or is this just a normal part of having a throat problem like mine? Is my treatment moving in the right direction?

You are recieving right treatment no need to worry give some time rest your voice untill you recover consume warm foods,visit ENT doctor for evaluating further.

My right nose is always blocked due to DNS and I catch coughs and colds easily. I do anulom vilom pranayama and eat healthy, avoiding cold foods. Would anushadbindu oil help improve my DNS issue? What's better between the two options? Is there any non-surgical way to recover from DNS?

septoplasty for DNS is advised to the patient if conservative treatment is ineffective.
