my brother has otosclerosis in both ears and the doctor recommended surgery is the surgery safe or are there any other medicine options we can try first

Otosclerosis surgery, like stapedectomy, is generally safe and effective, with a high success rate of improving hearing. However, there's a chance of complications, and non-surgical options like hearing aids and medications can be explored first.

I'm feeling like there's mucus stuck in my throat. It seems to get better when I eat something hot or drink hot water. I saw a GP and got some Coldact and an acidity tablet, but I'm not understanding why it keeps coming back. Any ideas on what could be going on?
