Question

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.
