I'm a 31-year-old male who had gall bladder removal surgery in 2016 and have been on hypertension meds for the past year with an average BP of 120/90 mmHg. For the last month, I've had this throat issue where it feels like mucus is running down my throat on and off, and for the past 10 days, I've also been dealing with constipation and gastric problems. An ENT specialist checked my throat and mentioned pharyngitis, prescribing Pan DSR and Sinarest 500 mg for 10 days. I finished the course, but the symptoms are still there. Could this be more related to my throat or an abdomen issue? What should I do next?

I've been dealing with blocked ears and sharp shooting pain for about a month now. There have been times I hear sounds in my ear too. Steaming has helped open up my left ear, but my right ear still feels blocked and painful sometimes. I tried using soliwax, but it just made my ears ring. My hearing seems fine, though. Any suggestions on what I should do next? I'm really looking for some guidance.

I've had inferior and middle turbinate issues along with a deviated nasal septum for the past 13 years. I'm 22 now and experience nasal blockage at night sometimes in the right nostril, sometimes the left, but never both at once. My sleep is fine though. Should I consider surgery or just live with it? What type of surgery would you recommend, and will I be able to live normally afterward?
