I'm really concerned about my ear. I had a tympanoplasty about a month ago, and now I'm noticing pus coming from the area. Could this mean that the surgery didn't work, or maybe there's a rupture? I followed all the post-op care instructions my doctor gave me. Can you help me understand what's happening and how I can get better?

View allI'm really concerned about my 10-year-old daughter. She has this adenoid issue, and the problem is mainly at night when she starts breathing through her mouth as she sleeps. During the day, everything seems normal. Is there a way to treat this with medicine instead of surgery?
Prolonged mouth breathing would cause Dryness of mouth,dental caries etc., surgical correction is the treatment of choice better plan for surgery.

I'm having a lot of trouble with persistent pain on one side of my throat, and it's affecting my ear, neck, and face. My eye also feels irritated. I've been dealing with this for a long time, even though I had a septoplasty about a year ago. The right side of my throat seems constantly infected, and it's making it hard for me to swallow and eat things like sour or oily foods. This issue also acts up when I'm outside. It's really making life difficult for me. What could be going on, and what should I do?
Given the complexity and persistence of your symptoms, its important to consult with an ENT specialist, as they can evaluate the full range of possible causes, from chronic infections to sinusitis or TMJ disorders. In addition to medical treatments, lifestyle adjustments and stress management can help you cope with the discomfort.

I've been dealing with a deviated septum, nasal polyps, and a dust allergy that makes me sneeze nonstop and blocks my nose completely. Could the dust allergy be making the polyps worse over time? The congestion is so bad I can barely breathe or sleep, and OTC sprays give me rebound congestion but I feel stuck using them. I'm also noticing I can't smell mild scents as well anymore. Is surgery like septoplasty or polyp removal my only option, or are there non-surgical treatments I could try first? If I do need surgery, how long would recovery take?
yes septoplasty is advised, recovery is around 4-6 weeks.
