I'm really concerned because for the past 6 months, my tonsils have been swollen with these pus pockets. It all started when I got the flu, but they've stayed enlarged since then. At first, there wasn't any pain, but now there's some discomfort. I haven't been on any medication and haven't gotten sick after the flu. What could be going on here? Is this something I should worry about?

Do not worry, visit you ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I'm dealing with a deviated nasal septum, and it's been bothering me a lot. I really want to go for septoplasty surgery, but I'm super anxious about the idea of using packing because I just can't breathe through my mouth. I'm based in Delhi. Is there any surgeon here who could help with a packing-free procedure? I'm really looking for advice or suggestions on how to proceed.

How long does it usually take for a mild eardrum retraction to heal on its own? Are there any treatments to help it resolve completely or would surgery be the only option for a full cure?

Mild eardrum retractions often heal on their own within a few months. While some cases may resolve spontaneously, more severe retractions or those that don't improve may require medical intervention or, in some cases, surgery.
