I threw up a couple of days ago, and since then my throat has been hurting a lot. It's really tough to even drink water or swallow anything. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

I've been having this weird pain near the left side of my Adam's apple for about 2 months now. It's really noticeable when I press on it or when I cough. I've already seen three ENT specialists who all gave me antibiotics, but they seemed to make it worse. Recently, another doctor gave me these tabletslevocetirizine, ambroxol, and montelukastand they help, but the pain comes back as soon as I stop taking them. I'm starting to get really worried and just don't know what to do at this point. Any advice on what this might be or what steps I should take next?

I was on a flight about three weeks ago and had a cold at the time. During the descent, I felt intense pressure in my right ear and it started hurting a lot. I took painkillers for a couple of days and, thankfully, the pain went away, but the pressure hasn't gotten back to normal since. I've tried blowing out or sucking in after pinching my nose, but nothing seems to work. I'm really worried about it. Could you offer some advice on what I should do next?
