I'm really worried about my brother. He's been dealing with a nasal blockage for months now after recovering from Covid. He tested negative and was fine for a bit after vaccination, but now he can't breathe properly through his nose and has to breathe through his mouth, especially at night. It's affecting his sleep a lot. He quit smoking recently after a long habit, and his PFT results were okay, but he's still not feeling well. What could be causing this ongoing congestion?

My son was diagnosed with glue ear and the doctor recommended surgery. Is there any way to treat it with medication instead or are there other options we could try before going for surgery? I'm really worried about putting him through an operation.

Glue ear often resolves on its own. Try nasal decongestants, antihistamines, or wait 3 months if mild. Surgery (grommet insertion) is advised only if persistent or affecting hearing/speech.

I'm really concerned about my ear. I had a tympanoplasty about a month ago, and now I'm noticing pus coming from the area. Could this mean that the surgery didn't work, or maybe there's a rupture? I followed all the post-op care instructions my doctor gave me. Can you help me understand what's happening and how I can get better?

That could have got reinfected,you have to use one more course of antibiotics, visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management
