I've been having pain and occasional wetness in my left ear, and my doctor recommended surgery to close a hole. Is the surgery absolutely necessary or can this be treated with allopathy or homeopathy medicines? Also, I've noticed a slight hearing loss if I go through with the surgery, could the problem come back? What are the chances of success with the surgery?

A small ear hole can be managed with medication if dry and infection-free. If persistent wetness or hearing loss exists, surgery is advised. Recurrence is rare with proper post-op care.

View allI've noticed some white spots on just one of my tonsils for the past couple of weeks, but there's no pain or irritation. Should I be concerned about this? Is it something that needs attention, even without any discomfort?
That could be Tonsillitis, consume warm foods, visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.

I've been hearing this strange noise coming from the back of my head, just above my neck, mostly on the right side. It happens when I move my head upwards or try to lean back. Plus, I get this neck pain on the right side whenever I spend too much time looking down. I've had this long-standing sinusitis issue on the right side, and it's been a real troublemaker. My neck hurts, I get headaches on that side, and sometimes even throat issuesall these come and go at random. What could be going on with me?

I've been dealing with otitis media for about a week now and have been taking Augmentin 625 Duo and Crocin for it. There was this wheatish discharge from my ear, then some watery stuff came out, and that made the fullness in my ear go away for a bit. But now, after a week, I'm feeling that fullness again in the same ear. I'm still on Augmentin and doing some steam inhalation. So, I'm wondering how often should I be doing the steam inhalation thing and how long should each session be? Also, how long does it usually take to completely recover from otitis media? And do you have any tips on how I can prevent it from coming back?
