I've been dealing with this weird pressure in my right ear for the past couple of years. It's especially noticeable whenever I talkit just feels uncomfortable. I've seen a bunch of ENT specialists, and I've heard everything from "it's a tonsil problem" to "there's no issue at all." It's super frustrating not having any answers. Could there be something else going on with my ear that hasn't been checked?

I'm having a hard time with this persistent mucus in my throat, and it's not getting better even after I've tried steaming and gargling. I'm currently using Seroflow 500, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Any advice on what else I can do? It's really frustrating.
