I'm struggling with allergies and sinus issues that have been bothering me for a long time. Every morning I wake up with pain below my eyes and eyebrows. If I take steam, the pain reduces for a bit, but it comes back. On top of that, my right ear has been blocked for over eight months. Just when it feels like it's getting better, I get hit with cold allergies and it's blocked again. It's really frustrating because I can't hear people properly. What do you think I should do?

I've been told to take steam twice a day to help with throat, ear, and nose issues, but I'm worried if doing this regularly might lead to pneumonia in the lungs. Can inhaling too much steam actually cause such problems?

no it does not cause pneumonia but excess steam causes sinusitis and nose problems ,avoid taking steam and avoid salt water gargling

I'm having some major issues with my left ear that are really affecting my sleep. I found out I have a middle ear infection and after going through a bunch of tests like X-rays, blood work, an echocardiogram, ECG, and a CT scan of the mastoid, my doctor is suggesting a major surgery. Can you tell me what this surgery is called? I'm also really worried about any health risks that might come with it.

I woke up with a sore throat on one side this morning, and when I checked my tonsils this afternoon, I noticed a clear blister-like bump where it hurts. Should I be worried about this?
