What precautions should I take after an eardrum surgery and how long should I avoid washing my hair to prevent water from entering the ear
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
After eardrum surgery, it's crucial to keep the ear dry and avoid activities that could put pressure on the ear. Generally, you should avoid washing your hair or showering for at least a week after surgery and for up to 6 weeks, you should prevent water from entering the operated ear. To do this, you can use a cotton ball coated with Vaseline to form a barrier before showering or washing your hair

I've been having some trouble with my nose and noticed this yellowish thing inside, which I guess might be a polyp. I remember a doctor mentioning back in 2018 that I had polyps and might need surgery. But now, when I look in the mirror, I can really see it there, and it's tough to breathe through that nostril. When I try to inhale hard, it feels like something's vibrating near it. Do you think surgery is the only way to fix this, or is there a chance medication could help?
Surgical excisiion is the only solution,do not delay get it removed because that could lead to Sinusitis
