Question

I'm having some major issues with my left ear that are really affecting my sleep. I found out I have a middle ear infection and after going through a bunch of tests like X-rays, blood work, an echocardiogram, ECG, and a CT scan of the mastoid, my doctor is suggesting a major surgery. Can you tell me what this surgery is called? I'm also really worried about any health risks that might come with it.

Question

I've been noticing these bubbles at the back of my throat and on the back of my tongue, close to where my throat starts. Sometimes it feels like there's something stuck back there, but it's not painful, just kind of uncomfortable. I've tried using salt water, but it doesn't seem to do much. Any idea what I should do about this?

I'm having trouble with a blocked nose that makes it hard for me to breathe, especially when I'm lying down. I don't have a cough, fever, or runny nose, but I can feel a bit of chest congestion. It's like the inside of my nose, near the bone area, is all blocked up. What can I do to feel better?
