Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. Sure, you need surgery to correct DNS (deviated nasal septum) or to resect hypertrophied turbinate, and to close the bony defect.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have read your query and understand your concern. There are two methods to end the secretions behind your ear drum, a medical way, and a surgical way. The medical way consists of using mucolytic and anti-edematous medications like chymotrypsin for 2 weeks, and nasal decongestant drops twice daily in a supine position for a week. In case of failure of the medical treatment, you should undergo surgical removal by a simple incision in the ear drum, then fluid suction, or by fixing the ventilation tube into the ear drum.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and can understand your concern. Sure, there is a solution, but firstly, you have to detect the cause with the help of investigations and tests.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have gone through your query and understand your concern. A ruptured eardrum (tympanic membrane perforation) from injury can sometimes heal on its own with conservative care; however, larger holes, such as yours, which are described as being big and only half-healed after a month, have uncertain outcomes without surgery. Medications support healing by addressing nutrition, inflammation, or infection risk; however, complete closure is not guaranteed and depends on the size, location, and avoidance of irritants. Importantly, avoid getting water inside your ears, as it can cause infection and impede healing.
