I've been diagnosed with reactive lymphoid hyperplasia for the past couple of months. I'm really concerned and wondering if it's something that can be cured on its own, or if surgery might be necessary. Could you provide some insights on this?

Surgery (usually in the form of a biopsy or excision) may be considered if: The swelling persists for a long time without improvement or becomes very large. The doctor suspects there might be another cause (like lymphoma or another serious condition). The lymph nodes are causing other physical symptoms (such as difficulty swallowing, breathing, or other issues due to the pressure they cause).

I've had a perforated eardrum for about a year now and it's causing hearing loss. One doctor recommended surgery but I'm wondering if it'll be open surgery or if they can do it through the ear canal. How much does this surgery usually cost and is it painful or painless?

COST depends on dr and hospital and city
