My mom is 60 and has perforated eardrums. The doctor said surgery isn't an option at her age and only medicines can help. How serious is this and can it be completely cured with just meds?

I've noticed that each time I bend over, drops of water seem to leak from my right nostril. It happens about 35 drops on average, and this pattern repeats every 15 to 20 days. Should I be worried about this, or is it something common?

I've been dealing with this constant coughing, headache, and runny nose, especially at night, and it's been really bothering me. I'm wondering if it's safe to take Azithromycin and Montek LC on the same day to help with these symptoms. Could this combo help, or should I be worried about any side effects?

That looks like sinusitis, you can take both tablets on same day no problem.
