I've had this hearing issue for 10-12 years and seen many doctors without a clear solution. Recently, an audiometry test showed my right ear is fine but the left ear doesn't pick up any beeps at any frequency. The doctor said there's no treatment except a hearing aid and ruled out surgery unless it's a bone or tumor issue. They mentioned one surgery option but said it's not guaranteed since it might be a nerve problem. Is there really no way to fix this 100% or am I stuck with a hearing aid for life?

I'm experiencing a cold throat infection and fever almost every month and have been taking Azithromycin 500 along with Nicip Cold n Flu and Combiflam for the past five days. Is this normal, or should I be worried? Should I continue with these medications or try something else?

I recommend continuing with Azithromycin 500mg as prescribed by your doctor. You can also continue taking Nicip Cold n Flu for relief from cold symptoms. However, it is important to note that frequent use of Combiflam (ibuprofen) is not recommended as it can have side effects on the stomach and kidneys. Instead, you can consider taking paracetamol alone for fever and body aches. Make sure to stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management of your recurrent infections.

I'm 21 and dealing with a septum deviation towards the right side plus a concha bullosa on the same side. My doctor mentioned surgery, but I'm wondering if it's really necessary. Do you think it's something I should go ahead with?

It is common to undergo surgery for septum deviation and concha bullosa if they are causing symptoms. The surgery is called septoplasty and it helps to correct the deviated septum and concha bullosa. It is usually recommended if you are experiencing difficulty breathing, frequent sinus infections, or other related symptoms. The surgery can improve airflow through the nose and alleviate symptoms. The doctor may also prescribe pain medication and nasal decongestants post-surgery to help with recovery.
