I'm experiencing some pain on the left side of my neck just below the ear, and it's been happening for the past two weeks. Sometimes my throat hurts too, and it feels like there's something stuck in my left ear. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

View allI've been dealing with a deviated septum, nasal polyps, and a dust allergy that makes me sneeze nonstop and blocks my nose completely. Could the dust allergy be making the polyps worse over time? The congestion is so bad I can barely breathe or sleep, and OTC sprays give me rebound congestion but I feel stuck using them. I'm also noticing I can't smell mild scents as well anymore. Is surgery like septoplasty or polyp removal my only option, or are there non-surgical treatments I could try first? If I do need surgery, how long would recovery take?
yes septoplasty is advised, recovery is around 4-6 weeks.

My tonsils have been swollen for almost 3 weeks now and nothing from allopathy seems to help. Doctors are suggesting surgery but I'm not sure if that's the only option left. What else can I try before going for surgery?
Tonsillitis generally lasts around a week. However, when it lasts longer than 14 days, it's considered chronic tonsillitis. Chronic tonsillitis may lead to other conditions that need additional treatment. If you have recurring bouts of tonsillitis, you may need to have your tonsils surgically removed.

My 5-year-old niece has been having nosebleeds and an X-ray showed enlarged adenoids. The doctor recommended surgery to remove them but I'm wondering if medication could work instead. Is surgery really necessary in this case? Also, what's the usual cost range for this kind of procedure?
adenoidectomy is advised.
