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 really worried about my dad. After he got his COVID vaccine, he had bleeding blood spots from his nose. This happened twice, once after each dose. Is this normal? Should we be thinking about getting some tests done to make sure everything's okay?

Yes get your coagulation profile done and visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.

I've been having a really bad pain in my left ear for a week now, and there's this buzzing noise that just won't go away. Plus, it's tough to hear with that ear. I'm wondering if it's an ear infection or something else? What should I be looking out for?

I'm dealing with vertigo and I'm not sure whether I should see an ENT specialist or a neurologist, or maybe even both. Can you help me figure out which one would be more appropriate for my symptoms? Also, is this condition harmful or something I shouldn't be too worried about? I'm curious if it's something that can be treated with just medicine or exercises. Is surgery sometimes necessary for this kind of issue?

If you are experiencing vertigo which is triggered by positional changes, such as whilst getting up from a lying down position, or whilst turning your head quickly, you should consult an ENT specialist in order to rule out BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). If your vertigo is triggered at random, without any particular change in position, you should consult a neurologist for further evaluation.
