I had ear drum hole surgery about 4 years ago but for the last two years, I've been dealing with constant itching inside my ear. Could this be related to the surgery or something else? It's really bothering me and I'm not sure what to do about it

Itching in the ear after eardrum surgery, especially if it persists for two years, could be due to several factors, including a recurring infection, skin irritation, or even nerve sensitivity. It's important to consult with an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist to determine the cause and appropriate treatment, as it's not normal for itching to persist this long after surgery.

I'm really struggling with a runny nose that's been going on for like a year now. Whenever I take citrazine, it works for about three days, but then the symptoms just come back. I remember using Efcorlin nasal drops around 10 years ago for the same issue, and it helped a lot. Is there any way I can get a prescription for it online? It's been quite frustrating to deal with this on a regular basis.
