I'm 48 and just found out I have a throat tumor. The doctor near me recommended surgery but I'm worried are there other treatment options I could explore before going under the knife?

Depending on tumor type, radiation or chemo may be options—get a biopsy and second opinion before deciding.

View allI'm a bit concerned about drinking alcohol while I'm taking Montek LC. My doctor prescribed it to me, and I'm not sure if there might be any side effects or interactions. Can you tell me if it's safe or if I should avoid drinking?
ideally there is no such interaction between them but as both will cause sedation,better not to consume alchohol when you are sick.

What precautions should I take after an eardrum surgery and how long should I avoid washing my hair to prevent water from entering the ear
After eardrum surgery, it's crucial to keep the ear dry and avoid activities that could put pressure on the ear. Generally, you should avoid washing your hair or showering for at least a week after surgery and for up to 6 weeks, you should prevent water from entering the operated ear. To do this, you can use a cotton ball coated with Vaseline to form a barrier before showering or washing your hair

I've been dealing with ear problems for the past 5 years and have seen multiple doctors but still no improvement. My hearing loss is around 50db in both ears. What treatment options would you recommend? If surgery is the best route, could you suggest some good hospitals? And if non-surgical treatments are better, what kind of treatments should I consider? I'm 27 years old and really want to find a solution that works.
You may need further evaluation for ear issues; both surgical and hearing aids are options—visit a tertiary ENT center.
