I've been having this issue where my left ear feels blocked every morning, and I can only hear faintly until it gradually clears up throughout the day. It's been happening for about 20-25 days now. Do you have any suggestions for wax removal drops that could help?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
You can try using Debrox earwax removal drops. Use 5-10 drops in the affected ear, and keep your head tilted for 5 minutes to allow the drops to work. You can do this twice a day for up to 4 days to help soften and remove the earwax. If the symptoms persist, please consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation.

Tonsillitis diagnosis involves a physical exam, asking about symptoms, and potentially throat swabs or blood tests to determine the cause. If tonsillectomy is recommended, you should discuss potential risks and benefits, ask questions, and follow your doctor's instructions carefully

My mom has moderate hearing loss in her left ear and sometimes hears abnormal sounds, but there's no pain. The doctor suggested surgery and did an HRCT of the temporal bone. I'm not sure if surgery is the only option right now are there any alternative treatments we should consider?
Yes, besides surgery, alternative treatments for moderate hearing loss and tinnitus include hearing aids, tinnitus retraining therapy, and potentially certain medications. The best approach depends on the cause of the hearing loss and tinnitus, as determined by the HRCT of the temporal bone and other diagnostic tests.
