I'm really worried about my friend's ear pain. She's been dealing with it for over a year, and every time we consulted a doctor, they just recommended cleaning. But last week, she was out of town and in a lot of pain, so she saw another doctor who found a small hole in her eardrum and suggested surgery. Im wondering if surgery is really necessary or if there are other options. Could you give some advice on this situation?

I woke up this morning with a really sore and swollen uvula, and it's quite painful. I've had a cough for the past few days and have been using Zeet cough syrup and drinking warm water with honey, which helped a bit, but the irritation is still there in my throat. Today, I also noticed a swollen vulva, and when I was cleaning my nose, there was some blood mixed with mucus. It's Sunday, so I can't see a doctor. What should I do?

either due to stuffy nose, you have been mouth breathing or due to acid reflux, airway mucosa is inflamed. This is the cause of uvular oedema and inflammation. Meet a good ENT Specialist

There's this recurring swelling under my jaw, on the left side, that's been really worrying me. It seems to get hard and painful as it grows. Whenever I take antibiotics, the swelling decreases but never fully goes away, and it pops back up, especially after I eat non-veg food. Could this be something serious? What should I do about it?

I have a hole in my eardrum and I'm really confused about which doctor to see for surgery. I've already consulted three doctors Adhana Clinic, GTB Hospital, and Dr. Gill in Agra and they all recommended surgery. How do I decide which doctor to go with for the procedure? I'm worried about making the right choice.
