I have a hole in my ear and it hurts a lot sometimes. Can it heal on its own without surgery? What should I do about the pain?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, a hole in the eardrum (perforated eardrum) often heals on its own without surgery, especially if it's a small hole. You'll want to keep the ear dry and protected while it heals, and over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help with pain

View allI've had right vocal cord palsy for the last 3 months and my voice is still hoarse. What would be better for me surgery or voice therapy? I'm really worried about which option might work best
Talk to your provider if you have a condition or illness that increases your risk of vocal cord paralysis. These can include multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's, or recent chest or neck surgery. Voice therapy may prevent your condition from worsening and improve your vocal cord function.

My ears have been clogged for days but my hearing is still fine. At first I didn't notice it much but now I realize my ears won't pop and there's constant pressure in both ears. An ENT doctor said one of my nasal passages is swollen which might be causing this. I've tried home remedies but the ear pressure and clogged feeling won't go away. Could this be a eustachian tube issue? Do I need surgery even though my hearing isn't affected?

I've been dealing with a lot of earwax in my right ear, and after seeing a doctor, they gave me ear drops for 10 days specifically for that ear. In September, they used micro suction to clear it out, which was fine at first, but now I notice this constant 'teeee' tinnitus sound in my right ear. It was really faint at first, but now, in late October, it's become a lot more noticeable, especially when I'm in a quiet place or trying to sleep. I'm worriedis this something that will go away on its own, or could it be due to some kind of injury from the procedure? Also, should I be taking any specific medicine to help with this? Its only happening in the ear where the wax was removed, and I didnt have this issue right after the procedure. What do you think?
That needs evaluation cant be adviced with this history visit your doctor for further rvaluation.
