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.

I'm dealing with tinnitus in both ears and have tried various medicines, including Tinnicar capsules. Unfortunately, after taking Tinnicar, my condition seems to have worsened. Is it possible that the capsules are causing side effects? I also have tonsils; could they be contributing to my tinnitus?

Its possible that Tinnicar worsened your tinnitus, especially if one of its ingredients didnt agree with your body. Discontinuing the capsule and consulting your doctor would be a good next step. Tonsil issues can also contribute to ear-related symptoms, so an ENT specialist might be able to help you explore if your tonsils are playing a role.

I'm really struggling with this sinus issue caused by a deviated septum. Its been two years now, and it's been really persistent. Over the past couple of months, I've had sinus pain four or five times, and it's different each time. Sometimes its a sore throat, other times breathlessness or chest tightness, and then it could be facial pain or heaviness and pain in my nose. Is there any permanent solution for this? I'm just worried because it keeps coming back, and I'm not sure what to do.
