Q: What can you not do after eardrum surgery?

For around 2 to 4 weeks, or until your doctor gives the all-clear, refrain from intense activities like bicycling, running, lifting weights, or aerobic exercise. Avoid leaning over and making rapid head movements for the first two or three days following surgery. You could feel lightheaded as a result of these behaviors.

Q: How long does it take to recover from eardrum surgery?

Recovery from a complete tympanoplasty procedure might take two to three months. Your doctor could use a vacuum to gently clean the ear canal at the first post-surgery appointment to examine the repaired eardrum. Until this packing dissolves, the hearing will likely be worse than before the operation.

Q: What are the risks of eardrum surgery?

Surgery for eardrum risks are: Tinnitus, a ringing or buzzing in the ear, frequently gets better with time but can occasionally become permanent. However, there are potential hazards, such as a wound infection, which can result in discomfort, bleeding, or fluid leakage. If you have these symptoms, visit the hospital or your doctor's office.

Q: What is the success rate of eardrum surgery?

Eardrum repairs are often quite successful. Tympanoplasty results in a successful recovery in more than 90% of patients. If your middle ear bones and your eardrum need to be repaired during surgery, the results might not be as good—as eardrum piercing.

Q: How do you sleep after tympanoplasty?

For the first week following surgery, it is advised to sleep with your head raised. In the middle ear cavity and behind the ear, this lessens edema. You can use two or three pillows while sleeping on the bed or put many pillows under the mattress.

Q: How do you wash your hair after ear surgery?

For one week, avoid washing your hair. To do this, use a Q-tip and a solution of half hydrogen peroxide and half water. After washing, apply Neosporin Ointment or the ointment your doctor has advised to the incision area. No drops of water should enter the ear until it has fully healed.

Q: Is tympanoplasty a major surgery?

The smallest of the procedures is this one. Adults get it done in the office, whereas kids do it under anesthetic. A biological tissue paper patch is applied over the hole and secured with a drop of blood or ointment after the hole's margins have been inflamed with a tool or mild acid.

Q: How long after tympanoplasty Can you hear?

After tympanoplasty, a full recovery may take two to three months to complete. Your doctor will do a thorough hearing test for at least 8 to 12 weeks after the surgery. The hearing will start as the packing material gradually dissolves to its total capacity.

I woke up this morning with a swollen nose on one side of my nose, I think it might be an allergic reaction, because I inhaled food that someone was cooking it was very strong and I started sneezing and bringing out mucus and woke up to a painful swollen nose

Female | 22

It appears that a congestion in the nose is the result of the body's backlash to an allergen you are coming into contact with. When the powerful aroma reached your lungs, your body probably sneezed and let out mucus. Causing the nose to be inflamed, most likely on one side only. A saline spray can relieve the swelling and alleviate the pain. Take care to avoid the foods that cause your symptoms.

Tonsillitis is caused by both viruses and bacteria. To feel better, you need to get adequate sleep, drink lots of fluids, and use over-the-counter painkillers.

These changes are caused by the additional blood flow and hormonal fluctuations that affect your ears. Besides, you may also notice that your hearing changes. First, try a warm compress on your ear and avoid loud noises. If the symptoms persist, mention them to an ENT specialist.

Male | 18

You may have an acute tonsillitis infection. When the tonsils become infected with viruses or bacteria this frequently occurs. The fever and headache you experienced are common symptoms of this condition. Since taking medication has not helped, it is necessary to get a proper diagnosis from an ENT specialist. This will enable them to prescribe stronger antibiotics which should make you feel well. Do not forget to drink plenty of water and have enough bed rest.

Sounds like the previous infection has not cleared completely or there is a second viral infection that has come on. We also need to see why the frequency is so high despite medications. Kindly visit an ENT surgeon.

I am 15 years old and I’ve had a really bad tonsil pain on the right side for the last 4 days, my tonsil looks swollen and it has a bunch of white stuff around it and it bleeds every once in a while. What should I do?

Female | 15

You could have tonsillitis. When your tonsils, which are small organs in the back of your throat, get infected or inflamed, it's called tonsillitis. Symptoms may include throat pain, swollen tonsils with white patches and sometimes bleeding. To relieve these symptoms you must drink fluids, rest well, and gargle with warm salt water gently. In case they persist or worsen, you should consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation and treatment.

My brother had mumps problem in february. Second day he lost his hearing completely in left ear. With lots of noise in his ear. We consulted many doctors and had lengthy treatment for about 6 months. But zero result. Doctors declared that hearing will never come back. But we want the the tinnitus go away. It damages his life also. Please help

Male | 39

The feeling of noises in the ear, called tinnitus, can be very distressing. Tinnitus in such cases is usually nerve damage caused by the mumps infection. Sadly, in some cases, the hearing loss may not be reversible. To manage the symptoms, your brother can try listening to soothing music, using white noise machines, and avoiding loud noises. Counseling or therapy can also be helpful for the patients.

Right ear voice not responding

Male | Utkarsh singh

You might be having some issues with your ear if the sound coming from your right ear is not working as it should. This could be the result of a foreign object blocking the ear canal or a malfunction of the nerves in the ear. To solve this, you should consult an audiologist who is a specialist in hearing disorders. The audiologist will be able to diagnose the problem and also help you improve your hearing.
