I had kidney stone removal surgery 3 weeks ago and the stent was taken out 5 days back. For the past two days my ear has been hurting and the left side of my face feels dull and numb. Could this be from the antibiotics? If I stop taking them will it go back to normal or do I need some other treatment?

It's possible your symptoms are related to the post-surgical recovery process, particularly stent removal, and could be due to the medication. However, it's crucial to seek advice from your doctor to determine the cause and appropriate treatment. While discontinuing the antibiotics could potentially alleviate some symptoms, it may not resolve the issue if it's a separate complication.

I've noticed a small cut on the foreskin of my penis after recently receiving oral sex, and it's been really uncomfortable. It stings, and sometimes the pain comes and goes. I'm a bit worried about what this could mean. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that will heal on its own? What should I do to help it heal or relieve the pain?
