My wife has a punctured eardrum in her right ear and hearing loss, along with fluid buildup in her left ear, which started around December 25th when she had bronchitis. Her current ENT is unsure if her hearing will return. We live in Atlanta. Are there any doctors or hospitals with more specialized experience in hearing loss that you would recommend?

I've been sick all week with sinus issues, like a cold or flu, and decided to take mucus relief. After taking it, I started to break out in hives. The bottle warns of possible allergic skin reactions, so I'm hesitant to continue. Should I seek medical help for the rash and hives?

I’ve had watery, mucous-like liquid diarrhea for 2 days, with around 12 bowel movements per day at least. It smells sweet and is yellow-brown in color. Eating small amounts causes burping, and I have bad cramps all day. Should I get antibiotics? If it’s giardia, would antibiotics still help? How to tell if it’s giardia or e-coli traveler's gastro, etc.? Azithromycin 1000mg seems to be the suggested one. I’m on a remote island in Fiji, 4.5 hours away from the mainland.

Can you please explain the results of my mother's biopsy? She is 62 years old and the results show she has liver cirrhosis and inflammation. Can this disqualify her for a liver transplant, and does this mean she always had autoimmune hepatitis, which could be the cause of her cirrhosis in the liver?
