Question

My ears have been clogged for days but my hearing is still fine. At first I didn't notice it much but now I realize my ears won't pop and there's constant pressure in both ears. An ENT doctor said one of my nasal passages is swollen which might be causing this. I've tried home remedies but the ear pressure and clogged feeling won't go away. Could this be a eustachian tube issue? Do I need surgery even though my hearing isn't affected?

Question

I've noticed something strange whenever I drink or swallow anythingit feels like there's something stuck to my tongue. It's a really odd sensation, and I can't figure out what's causing it. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that will go away on its own?

Question
