My ear has a perforated eardrum and sometimes it hurts and leaks fluid do I really need surgery for this or can it heal on its own? I'm worried about the pain and whether it could get worse.

A perforated eardrum usually gets better on its own within 2 months and your hearing returns to normal. A GP may prescribe antibiotics if you have an ear infection, or to stop you getting an ear infection while your eardrum heals.

View allI've recently gotten over COVID-19, but now I'm dealing with some post-COVID issues and I'm not sure what to do. I'm experiencing nasal congestion and occasional headaches. During my recovery, I was on steroids40mg for five days, 20mg for two days, and then 10mg for another two days. Afterwards, I took voriconazole 200mg for four days as per the advice I received. The nasal congestion feels really uncomfortable, and honestly, it's starting to scare me a bit. What should I do about this uneasiness?
That could be Sinusitis or DNS,do steam inhalation when needed,no need to worry If it is bothering you much visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I'm dealing with this headache that feels more like intense pressure, especially at the back of my head behind the ears on both sides. Bending over makes it worse, spreading the pressure to my forehead. I had mucus thickening in my sphenoid, maxillary, and ethmoid sinuses about 34 months ago. I was previously recommended to use Azeflo nasal spray, which I haven't used in a while, but I tried it today and it didn't help. I don't have a runny nose or cold symptoms right now. Do you think this might be a sinus issue, and should I see an ENT specialist, or would it be better to consult a physician first?
That could be sinusitis,visit ENT doctor for appropriate management also consume warm foods and d o steam inhalation 2 times in a day

I'm really worried because I accidentally swallowed a chicken bone, and it's stuck in my throat. It's causing a lot of pain, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Can you help me figure out how to get rid of it or if I need to see a doctor immediately?
A white layer in the ear can be caused by: - Earwax buildup - Fungal infection (otomycosis) - Middle ear infection - Eczema or psoriasis To determine the cause, consult a doctor or ENT specialist. Avoid using cotton swabs or inserting objects into your ear, as this can push the debris further in.
