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'm experiencing some discomfort and it's a bit puzzling. Whenever I move my lower lip to the left side, I feel pain in my ear and right above it. It's a similar kind of pain that I get while chewing, though that's a bit milder. Could this be related to something specific, or is it just normal muscle pain? I'm curious if this is something I should be concerned about.

according to my opinion you have to consult ENT speciality for the same

My mom has two vocal cord nodules and her voice isn't clear. An ENT specialist in Moradabad is recommending surgery, but I'm wondering if there's any way to treat this without going for an operation. Are there other options we can try first?

Yes, there are definitely non-surgical options to try before considering surgery for vocal cord nodules. Voice therapy, vocal rest, and sometimes medications can be effective in managing these nodules and improving voice quality.

I'm dealing with a blocked ear and tried using soliwax for four days. Instead of getting better, it feels like it's more blocked. How can I get the wax out? Any advice would be really appreciated.

It seems like the earwax is impacted and not coming out with the use of Soliwax. You can try using Debrox ear drops to soften the wax. Put 5 to 10 drops in the affected ear and keep your head tilted for 5 minutes to let the drops penetrate. You can then rinse your ear gently with warm water using a bulb syringe to help remove the softened wax. If the blockage persists, please consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation and treatment.
