I've been diagnosed with a perforated eardrum in my right ear, and my doctor recommended surgery. Are there any non-surgical treatments like homeopathy that could help fix this? Also, is it safe to travel by plane with this condition or should I avoid flying?

Mild cases may heal on their own, but larger perforations often need surgery; avoid air travel till cleared.

I've been prescribed a 6-day course of Ebast DC for my allergies and breathing issues, and it seems to be helping. Can I safely continue using this medication every day for a year if it's making a difference? Not considering any other factors.

I'm a 31-year-old male who had gall bladder removal surgery in 2016 and have been on hypertension meds for the past year with an average BP of 120/90 mmHg. For the last month, I've had this throat issue where it feels like mucus is running down my throat on and off, and for the past 10 days, I've also been dealing with constipation and gastric problems. An ENT specialist checked my throat and mentioned pharyngitis, prescribing Pan DSR and Sinarest 500 mg for 10 days. I finished the course, but the symptoms are still there. Could this be more related to my throat or an abdomen issue? What should I do next?

I'm really worried about my brother. He's been dealing with a nasal blockage for months now after recovering from Covid. He tested negative and was fine for a bit after vaccination, but now he can't breathe properly through his nose and has to breathe through his mouth, especially at night. It's affecting his sleep a lot. He quit smoking recently after a long habit, and his PFT results were okay, but he's still not feeling well. What could be causing this ongoing congestion?
