I'm having this constant pain in my ear, like right on that little flap part, the tragus. It really hurts, especially when I press on it. I'm worried and not sure what's causing it. What could be going on with my ear?

It sounds like you're experiencing pain in your tragus, which could be due to an infection, inflammation, or even pressure on the area. If the pain persists or worsens, it's a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying issues like an ear infection or cartilage irritation.

How common is it to need a posterior nasal pack or balloon catheter after nasal surgery or when suctioning blood clots from the throat? I've heard these can be pretty uncomfortable and I'm worried about whether they're always necessary or if there are alternatives Is there a way to tell ahead of time if someone might need one of these after surgery or is it just something you figure out if bleeding gets bad? I'm scheduled for nasal surgery soon and trying to prepare for what to expect What's the recovery like with these packs in place? Do they make breathing or swallowing way harder or is it manageable? I've got a pretty low pain tolerance so I'm nervous about the whole process

Posterior nasal packs or balloon catheters are not always necessary after nasal surgery or suctioning blood clots, but they can be used if bleeding is severe or persistent. It's usually determined on a case-by-case basis based on the severity of the bleeding. While they can cause discomfort, they are usually manageable with medication and support, and there are alternatives when possible.

I'm dealing with osmf and recently I've been having a sore throat. Theres this weird itching feeling, almost like something is stuck in there. I'm wondering, could this throat issue be linked to osmf?

No they are not related,that could be Pharyngitis, visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment,consume warm foods and do apsalt water gargling for better results.
