I've been diagnosed with a hole in my eardrum and have liquid discharge along with ear fullness. My general physician recommended surgery but I'm a bit nervous can you tell me more about the costs, possible side effects, and what precautions I should take after the procedure?

I'm dealing with some really bad throat pain and I'm not sure what to do. Can I use Ciprofloxacin 500 for it, or is levofloxacin a better option? I'm having a tough time with this pain and would appreciate any advice you could give me. Its pretty unbearable right now.

I've been dealing with a dry throat for the past three days. A few days ago, I had this sensation like something was caught in my throat, which eventually went away on its own, but now my throat just feels really dry. I get a mild cough, and there are times when I feel like I might have a fever, but then it disappears just as quickly. I've noticed some occasional chest pain, and sometimes my stomach acts up with gurgling twice a day. The only thing I've been taking is Calpol. It's particularly uncomfortable at night because the dryness makes it hard to sleep. Though there's no pain while swallowing or in the throat, it's beginning to bother me. Can you suggest any medicines or something I can do to help with this?

I'm worried about my hearing because I was using a qtip and then my hearing got muffled. I thought I just pushed the wax in further so I didn't really think much of it at first. But now it's been 3 days and my hearing is still muffled. I went to the pharmacy and told the pharmacist about it, and he gave me Dewax to try. I put 3 drops in my ear before bed like he suggested, but after that, I completely stopped hearing from that ear. It's been a full day since I used the drops and I still can't hear. Is this normal or should I be concerned and see a doctor?
