I've just been to an ENT to get the ear wax removed, and now I'm getting this buzzing sound in my ear. Also, the tragus on my left ear hurts when I touch it. I'm really worried about this. Do you think my tinnitus will ever go away?

I have hearing loss and my doctor recommended ear surgery because there's some damage to the layers in my ear and a small hole. Is there any alternative to surgery? Can homeopathy help repair this or should I see a good homeopathic doctor? Here are my test results what do you suggest?

The recommended ear surgery likely refers to tympanoplasty, a procedure to repair a damaged eardrum (tympanic membrane). This surgery can improve hearing, especially if a hole in the eardrum (perforation) or damage to the surrounding layers is causing hearing loss. Tympanoplasty involves using a graft (tissue or synthetic material) to patch or reconstruct the damaged eardrum.

My nose bone is slightly bent to the left and I've noticed it over the last four years. Is surgery the only way to fix this or are there other solutions?

My grandpa's over 80 and he's got an ear infection. He's been taking zifi 200 for a couple of days now, but he's started feeling a heaviness in his head, can't hear too well, and there's some watery pus coming from his ear. I'm kind of worried and not sure if we should keep giving him the zifi. What do you think?

Its important to stop Zifi for now and contact his doctor immediately. His symptoms could be related to side effects from the medication, the infection not responding as expected, or other complications, and his doctor can help determine the best course of action.
