Question

I recently started taking Mucolite SR for the sticky mucus at the back of my nose. I'm unsure whether it's better to take it in the morning before food or in the evening. Could you advise on the best time to take it? I'm really eager to know what would work best for my situation.

Question

I'm worried about a hole in my eardrum on the left side. There's no pain or irritation, but I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible. Can eardrums heal on their own without surgery? Also, how long does it typically take for treatment?

Question

I've been dealing with pulsatile tinnitus in my right ear since 2013, and it all started when I had my right wisdom tooth removed. I also suffer from TMJ. The doctor mentioned I should get an MRI to check for any tumors, but nothing was found. I'm wondering, do I really need to keep getting MRIs over and over again? I'm just a bit concerned and looking for some advice.
