View allHey, I've been having this weird jaw pain right at the hinge, and I think it's a bit swollen, but only on the left side. I just had some dental work done on that side because of a cavity, and now it hurts to open my mouth wide. This all started last night, but for about five days before that, I'd wake up with a sore throat, a runny nose, and mucus. Strangely, during the day, I feel fine, but at night it all comes back until morning. There's also this occasional ringing noise in my left ear, like a beep, and it's around 814kHz or something. It's more obvious when I cover or muffle my ear. Any idea what's going on?

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?
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.

my brother has otosclerosis in both ears and the doctor recommended surgery is the surgery safe or are there any other medicine options we can try first
Otosclerosis surgery, like stapedectomy, is generally safe and effective, with a high success rate of improving hearing. However, there's a chance of complications, and non-surgical options like hearing aids and medications can be explored first.
