I'm really worried because I've got a hole in my eardrum. My right eardrum has a big hole, and there's a smaller one in my left. The right one keeps getting pus, and I'm having a lot of trouble hearing from that side, plus all sorts of weird noises. What should I do about this?

I've been diagnosed with hearing loss and saw three ENT doctors two said it's conductive hearing loss from a deviated septum and recommended nose surgery, while the third thinks it could be otosclerosis and suggested a stapedectomy. I'm really confused about which diagnosis is right and what surgery I should consider. How do I figure out the best course of action here?

I'm dealing with some tightness and pain in my throat, and I've heard both azithromycin and cefixime can help. Could you please guide me on which one might be better for a throat infection? I'm really unsure about which option to choose.

Both would work you can use Azithromycin for 3-5 days.
