How long does it usually take for a mild eardrum retraction to heal on its own? Are there any treatments to help it resolve completely or would surgery be the only option for a full cure?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Mild eardrum retractions often heal on their own within a few months. While some cases may resolve spontaneously, more severe retractions or those that don't improve may require medical intervention or, in some cases, surgery.

I've been dealing with sinus problems that cause heaviness around my nose and forehead. My doctor recommended surgery but I'm unsure - is nasal surgery really necessary for treating sinus issues? What other options might help relieve this pressure?
Try nasal irrigation, antihistamines, steam, or balloon sinuplasty before surgery if sinus pressure is mild.
