I just got my NCCT scan results for the PNS area, and I'm kinda worried. It says there's mucosal thickening in the sphenoid sinus and along the walls of my bilateral maxillary sinuses. Also, the posterior air cells of my bilateral ethmoidal sinuses are affected, and the bilateral ostiomeatal units are compromised due to mucosal thickening at the hiatus semilunaris. Should I be concerned about this?

I'm dealing with post nasal drip and allergies for the last couple of months and things got worse when I flew recently. During landing, I felt this terrible pain in my ears like they might burst. The ear pain faded by the next day, but now I'm having trouble with a pain in the right side of my Adam's apple when I swallow. There aren't any other symptoms. What could be causing this, and how can I fix it?

I feel tightness and pain in my throat, especially when I swallow. I had deviated septum surgery before but now facing this issue. Could this be related or something else?

A sore throat and tightness when swallowing after deviated septum surgery can be normal due to the breathing tube and potential dripping of blood, but persistent or worsening symptoms should be evaluated by a doctor. It could also be related to other issues like allergies, infections, or even GERD.

I've been dealing with really bad nasal congestion and sneezing lately, and nothing seems to help. I've tried inhalation and taken paracetamol, but I'm not feeling any better. It's getting really frustrating. Is there anything else I should be doing or trying?
