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?

Question

I'm feeling really under the weather with a bad case of winter cold and congestion. There are so many tablets out there, and I'm just not sure which one is the best for quick relief. Could you suggest something effective for these symptoms, something to tackle this sardi jukam quickly? Also, are there any side effects I should be worried about?

Question

I'm really concerned about my ear. I had a tympanoplasty about a month ago, and now I'm noticing pus coming from the area. Could this mean that the surgery didn't work, or maybe there's a rupture? I followed all the post-op care instructions my doctor gave me. Can you help me understand what's happening and how I can get better?

Question

I've had a maxillary sinus issue for about 3 years now, and it seems to be getting worse. It started when a doctor gave me some meds, but I only took them for a week and stopped. Recently, I've been dealing with a lot of itching all over my body, especially bad when I get my legs waxed. It's been going on for the last month, and along with this itching, my sinus issues like coughing have also been acting up more frequently. I've started taking steam to relieve it a bit, but I'm wondering what I should do for a proper cure. Should I get my sinus condition checked out to see what's going on, or should I see a doctor for some advice? Any suggestions would be really helpful.
