I'm having this constant pain in my ear canal after I scratched it and a doctor used hydrogen peroxide to clean it. My mom suggested using warm ghee and turmeric, but it's still hurting a lot. I'm really worried because seeing a doctor nearby is super pricey. What else can I do to help with the pain?

Use antibiotic ear drops such as Ciplox-D ear drops. You can instill 4 drops into the affected ear 4 times a day for 5-7 days. Additionally, you can take a pain reliever like Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours to help with the pain and inflammation. Make sure to keep your ear dry and avoid inserting anything into the ear canal. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to seek medical attention.

It's understandable to be concerned about tongue-tie release surgery for your 6-month-old baby. While the procedure is generally safe, especially for infants, it's crucial to weigh the potential benefits and risks with your pediatrician or a specialist like an ENT or pediatric dentist. General anesthesia is also safe for infants, but it's a factor to consider in the overall decision

I've had this hearing issue for 10-12 years and seen many doctors without a clear solution. Recently, an audiometry test showed my right ear is fine but the left ear doesn't pick up any beeps at any frequency. The doctor said there's no treatment except a hearing aid and ruled out surgery unless it's a bone or tumor issue. They mentioned one surgery option but said it's not guaranteed since it might be a nerve problem. Is there really no way to fix this 100% or am I stuck with a hearing aid for life?
