I got a fracture in my sinus bone with a displaced nose bone and nasal septum - the doctor recommended surgery for both. Is surgery really necessary or are there other options? What's the recovery like if I go through with it?

My ear has a perforated eardrum and sometimes it hurts and leaks fluid do I really need surgery for this or can it heal on its own? I'm worried about the pain and whether it could get worse.

A perforated eardrum usually gets better on its own within 2 months and your hearing returns to normal. A GP may prescribe antibiotics if you have an ear infection, or to stop you getting an ear infection while your eardrum heals.
