Question 1

How long does it usually take for a mild eardrum retraction to heal on its own? Are there any treatments to help it resolve completely or would surgery be the only option for a full cure?

Accepted Answer

Mild eardrum retractions often heal on their own within a few months. While some cases may resolve spontaneously, more severe retractions or those that don't improve may require medical intervention or, in some cases, surgery.

Question 2

I've been dealing with sinus issues for almost 25 years, and it seems to get worse whenever the climate changes. I've been using Nosikind drops for my nose, which helps a bit but not completely. It usually starts with a scratchy throat, and by the next day, I have a runny nose, body aches, and sometimes a fever. I've tried so many medications but they only seem to work for a short time before my symptoms come back. What else can I do to manage these symptoms better?
