My dad is 45 and has been having ear problems with mucus discharge every other day. We saw an ENT doctor who said both ears might need surgery. I'm not sure if surgery is really necessary or if medications could help instead. Also, if surgery is needed, does it have to be for both ears or just one? Can you check the reports I've attached and let me know what you think?

If both ears have chronic discharge and failed medical treatment, surgery like tympanoplasty may be needed; one or both ears can be treated depending on disease severity.

I've had a preauricular sinus infection for years and even had surgery 15 years ago, but it's come back. I've been dealing with this for so long is there any way to finally get rid of it for good?
Yes, it's possible to potentially eliminate a preauricular sinus infection permanently, even after previous surgery, but it may require further surgical intervention and a thorough approach. The key is to ensure complete removal of the sinus tract and any associated cartilage or tissue remnants, as incomplete removal is a major factor in recurrence.

I'm really struggling with this constant cough I've got in my throat; it's there almost all the time and I end up coughing a lot just to clear it. It's getting pretty unbearable for me. Sometimes, I even feel like something is dripping slowly from the top part of my nose. I recently had an NCCT PNS scan done, and my doctor says there's nothing serious going on, just recommended breathing exercises like Pranayam and some jogging, which honestly haven't helped much so far. Before making any more moves, I'd like to get a deeper understanding of what's actually in the report, especially the IMPRESSION part. Can you help explain what the medical findings mean?
share me reports so that i can elaborate about your symptoms
