I'm really struggling with this issue, it's been going on for about a year and a half now. I've seen doctors, but nothing seems to be helping. It always feels like there's something stuck in my throat, almost like someone is tapping on it from the outside. There's also this mild pain in my ears. Sometimes it feels better, but other times the sensation is really strong. What could be causing this and what should I do next?

View allI had sinus surgery with myringotomy, grommets, and balloon dilation for my eustachian tubes two weeks ago but my ears still feel clogged why is this happening and how long until I get better
It's common to experience ear pressure or a feeling of fullness after sinus surgery, even after procedures like myringotomy, grommets, and balloon dilation of the eustachian tubes. This is often due to swelling and inflammation in the nasal passages and sinuses, which can affect the Eustachian tube's ability to equalize pressure. While this should improve over time, it can take a few weeks to a few months for the swelling to subside and for your ears to feel normal again

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.
Practice valsalva manoeuvre it would resolve,if it's becoming worse visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.

I'm experiencing this odd tick tick sound in my nose quite frequently, and every time I hear it, it seems like my nose suddenly clears up, but I dont have a cold. Could this be a sign of something serious?
it's unlikely to be anything major. it may be sound of secretions moving in a narrow space of your nose. anyways for confirmation you can consult nearby ENT specialist
