It's common to experience ear pressure or a feeling of fullness after sinus surgery, even after procedures like myringotomy, grommets, and balloon dilation of the eustachian tubes. This is often due to swelling and inflammation in the nasal passages and sinuses, which can affect the Eustachian tube's ability to equalize pressure. While this should improve over time, it can take a few weeks to a few months for the swelling to subside and for your ears to feel normal again

Question

I'm really worried about this sore throat I keep getting every morning for the past few days. I make sure to drink water before bed and sometimes even in the middle of the night, but it doesn't seem to help. I've noticed I mostly sleep with my mouth closed too. Could you give me some advice on what might help? Also, I don't drink tea or coffee before bed, just so you know.

Question

I'm experiencing some pain in my throat that's been going on for about two weeks now. It only hurts when I swallow saliva, but not when I'm eating or drinking anything. The pain seems to come and go, and there's no pain when I move my neck. I don't have a cough or anything, but when I'm distracted or busy, I sometimes don't notice it as much. I'm really concerned and a bit scared that it might be something serious like throat cancer. Could you help me understand what could be causing this?

Question

I'm really worried because I've had a throat infection for the past week. This seems to happen whenever I stop taking the Almox 500 capsules that I've been on for a while now. I went to a doctor, but it didn't really make a difference. What could be going on? Is there something else I should be doing?
