I'm worried about my left ear. It has around 70 holes in the eardrum. Is there any way it can heal on its own without needing surgery? What's the best solution for this?

View allI've been dealing with dry sinusitis for a couple of months now and it's been really uncomfortable because there's no mucous forming at all in my nostril. I'm using Nasoclear saline spray and Otrivin only when its absolutely necessary. I've noticed there's some swelling in my left nasal wall, and a little bit on the right too. I'm feeling like I really need a good nasal moisturizer, but I'm not sure what treatment would be best to fix this. What should I do?
Ouch, that sounds painful! Swallowing warm food can cause: - Esophageal burns or scalds - Inflammation and irritation To alleviate the discomfort: - Avoid spicy, acidic, or hot foodsdrinks - Opt for soft, bland, and cool foods (e.g., yogurt, scrambled eggs) - Stay hydrated with lukewarm water - Consider over-the-counter antacids or pain relievers If the pain persists or worsens, consult a doctor for proper evaluation and guidance.

I've been having this strange sound in my ear, like a buzzing or hissing, and I think it's tinnitus. It's been going on for about four months now, and it only happens in one ear. It's making it really hard for me to sleep or focus during the day. I've read that tinnitus might not be treatable, and I'm feeling really stuck. Could you maybe give me some advice or guidance on what I should do next?
Feeling like something is stuck in your throat can be unsettling! Given your tobacco and pan masala addiction, it's essential to take this symptom seriously. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF)_: A precancerous condition common in tobacco and pan masala users. 2. _Tobacco-related lesions_: Leukoplakia, erythroplakia, or other lesions can cause throat irritation. 3. _Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)_: Stomach acid flowing up into the throat can cause discomfort. 4. _Throat infection or inflammation_: Bacterial or viral infections can cause throat irritation. _Cancer Risk_ While it's impossible to diagnose cancer without a medical examination, your tobacco and pan masala addiction increases your risk of developing oral, throat, or esophageal cancer. _Urgent Action Required_ 1. _Consult an ENT specialist or oncologist_: Schedule an appointment for a thorough examination and diagnosis. 2. _Get a biopsy or imaging tests_: If necessary, undergo tests to rule out cancer or other serious conditions. 3. _Quit tobacco and pan masala_: Seek professional help to overcome your addiction and reduce your cancer risk. Don't delay seeking medical attention. Early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve outcomes.
