I'm 21 and recently got a small tear in my eardrum because of water from a pond. I've noticed that water is frequently leaking from my ear now. My doctor recommended that I take serlox D, ceferite 500, montas L, and pentab 40. Do you think these medicines will actually help with my condition?

The medications prescribed by your doctor seem appropriate for managing the ear infection, preventing complications, and supporting healing. Make sure to adhere to the treatment plan and avoid water exposure to your ear until the eardrum has healed. If you have any concerns or experience unusual symptoms, be sure to follow up with your doctor.

I've been dealing with bad breath for a while now, and my tongue always has a white coating with white lesions on it. No matter what I try, the bad breath won't go away. There's also this weird metallic or sulfur-like taste in my mouth, and I feel like I've lost my normal sense of taste. I've had sinus surgery, an endoscopy, and everything seems fine, but the issue still persists. What could be causing this, and how can I fix it?

The most common cause of a white tongue is poor oral hygiene. Small bumps on the tongue called papillae can swell up and become inflamed in a mouth that is not cared for well. Plenty of germs, debris, food particles, and dead cells can get stuck between these papillae.
