Question

My wife has a hole in her eardrum but there's no fluid or discharge, just occasional severe pain. Can this be treated with medication alone? I really want to avoid surgery if possible, what options do we have?

Eardrum hole with pain but no discharge may heal with control of infections and patching;if perforation is large or chronic,tympanoplasty under local or general anesthesia is done at ₹30k–₹80k.

Question

I've had inferior and middle turbinate issues plus a deviated nasal septum for 13 years, but lately at night either my left or right nostril gets blocked while the other stays clear - never both at the same time. Is surgery necessary if I'm still sleeping fine? With my wedding next month, I'm wondering if I should just live with this condition or get it fixed - what surgery would work best without side effects or the problem coming back?
