I'm dealing with a sore throat that comes and goes. I do smoke a bit like one or two cigarettes a day, but it's not a lot. Can I take cefix 200 even though it expired last month?

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.
