My doctor said I might need surgery for a hole in my eardrum. How do they usually do this procedure? Are there any medications that can help instead of surgery? I'm a bit worried about what to expect.

If a hole in your eardrum (ruptured eardrum) doesn't heal on its own, surgery might be needed to repair it. The most common surgical procedure is called tympanoplasty or myringoplasty, where a patch of tissue is used to cover the hole. While some cases heal without treatment, surgery is often required if the eardrum doesn't heal within a few months or if complications like infection or hearing loss occur

View allI have really large polyps and my nose feels swollen like a cucumber. I'm dealing with constant blockages, colds, headaches, watery eyes, and sometimes severe face pain. Is there any way to treat this without surgery or is surgery the only option? If I do get surgery, will my nose and nostrils go back to their normal size?

I've had this beeping sound in my ear for the past few days. It doesn't really hurt, but when people talk, it kind of sounds like a "guyyy" noise in my ear. I'm able to hear voices, but everything feels off. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

I'm taking Terol LA 4 mg, and a few hours later, my mouth feels super dry, and my throat gets really tight. It's making it hard for me to eat. What should I do about this?
To help with these side effects, you can try sucking on sugar-free candies or chewing sugar-free gum to stimulate saliva production. Additionally, staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day can also help alleviate dry mouth. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and possible adjustment of your medication dosage.
