I'm really worried because I recently moved to Hyderabad and my hair's been falling out a lot. I heard it's because the water in my apartment is really hard, from bore water. I put in a shower filter and used it once, but my hair is still falling out like crazy when I comb it. What else can I do to stop this or at least fix the damage? Can you help?

I've been prescribed linid 600 and clavmox 625 to take twice a day for a small infection with pus in my nail wound. I'm just wondering why I need to take two antibiotics at the same time. I'm only following the doctor's advice but would really love to understand the reason behind it. Can any doctor explain why I'm having these meds together?

_Persistent Ear Irritation and Congestion: Next Steps for Diagnosis and Treatment_ Given your ongoing symptoms and previous treatments, it's essential to reassess your condition and consider alternative explanations. Here's a summary of your situation and recommendations: _Possible Causes:_ 1. _Eustachian tube dysfunction_: The Eustachian tube connects the middle ear to the back of the throat. Dysfunction can cause ear fullness, congestion, and autophony (hearing your own voice or breathing sounds). 2. _Sinusitis or allergies_: Sinus congestion and allergies can cause Eustachian tube dysfunction, leading to ear symptoms. 3. _Middle ear issues_: Persistent middle ear infection, otosclerosis, or other conditions might be contributing to your symptoms. _Next Steps:_ 1. _Consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist_: Schedule an appointment with an ENT specialist to reassess your ear and sinus symptoms. 2. _Comprehensive evaluation_: The ENT specialist will perform a thorough evaluation, including: - Otoscopy to examine the ear canal and eardrum - Nasal endoscopy to evaluate the nasal passages and sinuses - Hearing tests to assess hearing function - Imaging studies (e.g., CT or MRI scans) to visualize the sinuses and ears 3. _Treatment options_: Based on the evaluation results, the ENT specialist may recommend: - Antibiotics or antifungal medications for sinus or ear infections - Nasal sprays or oral medications for allergies or sinus congestion - Eustachian tube exercises or balloon dilation to improve Eustachian tube function - Referral to an allergist for further evaluation and treatment _Continue Self-Care:_ 1. _Maintain good nasal hygiene_: Use saline nasal sprays or rinse your nasal passages with a neti pot. 2. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of fluids to help thin out mucus and promote drainage. 3. _Manage allergies_: Continue using antihistamines or other medications as prescribed to manage allergy symptoms. By consulting an ENT specialist and undergoing a comprehensive evaluation, you can better understand the underlying causes of your symptoms and develop an effective treatment plan.
