I have chronic suppurative otitis media and one ear is completely damaged I can't hear at all from it. The other ear has a small hole in the eardrum. The doctor prescribed antibiotics, but I'm worried will this infection go away completely? And is there any chance my damaged ear could recover without surgery?

View allI've been having trouble sleeping at night because my adenoids have gotten pretty big, and my nose keeps getting blocked. I'm really hoping to find a way to reduce their size without having to go through surgery. Any advice on what I should do?
Many people with enlarged adenoids have few or no symptoms and do not need treatment. Adenoids shrink as a child grows older. Your provider may prescribe antibiotics or nasal steroid sprays if an infection develops. Surgery to remove the adenoids (adenoidectomy) may be done if the symptoms are severe or persistent.

I can clearly see and feel a yellow polyp-like substance when I look in the mirror or insert my finger into my nostril. A doctor mentioned polyps back in 2018 and said I might need surgery, but I never got it done. Now I can't exhale properly through that nostril, and when I try to inhale forcefully, it feels like something is vibrating near the area. Is surgery the only option for polyps, or can medication help shrink them?
Surgery is advised to the patient,also ent opinion is advised and the surgery is called polypectomy.
