My mom's eardrum is ruptured and sometimes bleeds from her ear. The doctor in Bangalore suggested surgery but I'm really worried since she's 49. Will she face major issues with this condition? Are there any other treatment options besides surgery?

Eardrum rupture may heal with precautions; surgery only if it persists or worsens—follow-up ENT is essential.

I'm dealing with what I think might be vertigo issuesfeeling like I'm spinning and having trouble keeping my balance. My ENT doctor recommended Vertin 16 mg about 8 months ago, and I've been taking it as needed. I'm just wondering, is this something that can be cured over time? Also, should I make it a point to consult my doctor every single time these symptoms show up, or is it okay to manage it with the medication on my own? What do you suggest?

My mom has a hole in her eardrum and it's causing a lot of issues. The ENT doctor recommended surgery but I'm wondering if there's any way to heal a ruptured eardrum without going through surgery

Yes, many ruptured eardrums heal on their own without surgery. If the hole is small, it may heal within a few weeks. Even if it doesn't heal on its own, there are other options like patching or ear drop therapy before considering surgery.

I keep sneezing and getting a cold every morning no matter what I try - I've done alopathy, homeopathy, and ayurvedic treatments but nothing helps. One doctor mentioned I might have extra nose bone growth needing surgery, but said there's only a 50% chance it'll work. What do you think about this diagnosis and treatment option?

i feel that you have allergic rhinitis. You can start with a steroid nasal spray twice daily. If no relief, consult another ENT surgeon and get evaluated whether surgery will help or not. But allergy per se may not go away with surgery. You will need spray and avoidance of allergens.
