My wife has a hole in her eardrum but there's no fluid it's dry. She gets a lot of pain sometimes. Can this be treated with just tablets? I really don't want her to go through surgery are there other options?

I've got a pleomorphic adenoma on my left parotid gland again since 2010. I recently went through Sonography, FNAC, and a CT Scan, and they all say it's still there. Everything else around it seems normal, thankfully. My doctors are advising me to go for a Parotidectomy. I'm feeling a bit unsure and worried about this. Could anyone offer some guidance on what I should consider before making a decision?

The most common treatment for a parotid gland adenoma is surgery to remove the tumor, a procedure called a parotidectomy
