My eardrum is retracted and now it's ballooned up. I'm a pilot and really worried will this heal on its own or do I need surgery? It's been bothering me a lot and I'm not sure what to expect.

Retracted eardrums can range from mild to severe. Some get better on their own, and some need treatment. It's important to visit a healthcare provider if you think you might have a retracted eardrum. In some cases, it can lead to conditions like ear infections and temporary or permanent hearing loss.

View allI'm really struggling with this issue, it's been going on for about a year and a half now. I've seen doctors, but nothing seems to be helping. It always feels like there's something stuck in my throat, almost like someone is tapping on it from the outside. There's also this mild pain in my ears. Sometimes it feels better, but other times the sensation is really strong. What could be causing this and what should I do next?

I've got a popcorn husk stuck in my throat and it's driving me crazy! I've tried coughing to get it out, but no luck. It's been almost a full day now. What should I do to get it out?

I'm really worried about my 5-year-old son's frequent nosebleeds. It's been happening for about a month now, and even though the amount of blood isn't much, sometimes it happens twice a day. We saw an ENT doctor around 15 days ago, and they said it was anterior and suggested using paraffin drops and saline. It did help a bit at first, but then the nosebleeds started becoming more frequent again over the past few days. He's currently taking Oleptal DT 150 twice a day for childhood epilepsy. Do you think we should go back for another check-up?
