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'm experiencing this weird sensation where it feels like air is going through my right ear, but only when I'm at home in Bangalore. It's been happening for around 9 months, and recently I've started feeling dizzy, mostly in the evenings. It doesn't happen if I travel to other places, so I'm curious if this is something I should be worried about. What could be causing this?

I'm experiencing pain in my throat whenever I swallow saliva, but it seems to be less noticeable when I'm eating or drinking. The thing is, the pain shifts from one side to the other, sometimes on the right and then back to the left, and I'm also feeling a slight discomfort near my ear. Any advice on what might be going on?

Talk to your provider if you have a condition or illness that increases your risk of vocal cord paralysis. These can include multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's, or recent chest or neck surgery. Voice therapy may prevent your condition from worsening and improve your vocal cord function.
