Question

My son was diagnosed with glue ear and the doctor recommended surgery. Is there any way to treat it with medication instead or are there other options we could try before going for surgery? I'm really worried about putting him through an operation.

Glue ear often resolves on its own. Try nasal decongestants, antihistamines, or wait 3 months if mild. Surgery (grommet insertion) is advised only if persistent or affecting hearing/speech.

Im 30 and havent had any major medical issues or allergies before. Could you help me figure this out?
