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 been dealing with blocked ears and sharp shooting pain for about a month now. There have been times I hear sounds in my ear too. Steaming has helped open up my left ear, but my right ear still feels blocked and painful sometimes. I tried using soliwax, but it just made my ears ring. My hearing seems fine, though. Any suggestions on what I should do next? I'm really looking for some guidance.

I accidentally took two Sinarest tablets just a few minutes apart because I forgot I had already taken one. My prescription says to take one in the morning and one at night. Could this be a big problem? I'm really worried. What should I do?
no need to worry since it is only 2 tablets that you have swallowed

I've been having nose problems for the past couple of months. I've tried homeopathic medicine and septillin, but nothing seems to be working. It's really hard to breathe because my nose gets blocked, and there's this thick yellow discharge. What could be going on, and what should I do to get some relief?
Based on your symptoms of difficulty in breathing, blocked nose, and yellow thick discharge, it seems like you may be suffering from a sinus infection. I recommend you try taking an antibiotic like Amoxicillin (500mg, three times a day) along with a decongestant like Sudafed (30mg, every 4-6 hours) to help relieve your symptoms. Additionally, using a saline nasal spray regularly can also help with nasal congestion. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
