I've had constant ear discharge from both ears for a while now and even had tympanoplasty surgery, but it didn't help. I also have mixed hearing loss in both ears. What could be causing this, and are there other treatment options I should consider?

Persistent ear discharge post-tympanoplasty and mixed hearing loss may indicate cholesteatoma or Eustachian tube dysfunction.A CT scan and revision surgery or mastoidectomy may be needed.

I'm dealing with an earache and my doc suggested using Soliwax ear drops for my right ear. Can you tell me how often I should use them? Is it okay to use them five times a day?

you can take 3 drops in each ear 3-5 times a day till you feel better.

Can you help me figure out how effective adenoid surgery is for kids, both in the short term and long term? And is it true that once the adenoids are removed, they won't grow back? I'm really curious about this.

Adenoid surgery can provide both short-term and long-term benefits for children, especially in terms of relieving chronic nasal and ear problems. It's very unlikely that the adenoids will grow back to the same size after surgery. Most children experience significant and sustained improvements, but if any symptoms return, it would likely be due to other underlying issues, not the regrowth of the adenoids.

I'm really concerned about this polypoidal mucosal thickening in my left maxillary sinus that showed up on my MRI scan. I've already tried antibiotics and antihistamines for a month, but they didn't help. I'm worried and wondering what other treatments or options might be available. Could you advise on what else I can do to address this issue?

If it is causing severe pain or symptoms like cold and headache,have to undergo FESS for its resection.
