I'm worried because an ant crawled inside my ear and ever since, I've been dealing with a headache. Should I be concerned about the ant being in there, and is the headache related to it? What should I do?

View allI'm curious about some issues I've been having. I've been dealing with sinus infections and nasal polyps for about 5 years now. I went through surgery back in June 2016, but just a few months later, the same problems started again. Lately, I've been noticing my nose gets completely blocked, sometimes just one side, but there are days when both are blocked. It feels like something is stuck in there, and its really hard to breathe, especially at night. I've been using XyloFlo nasal steroids for the past two years whenever things get bad, and I also use a neti pot with saline tabs. I have a CT scan that's less than a year old if you think it might help. I'd really appreciate any advice you can offer because it's getting pretty frustrating and it's hard to focus on studying for my exams. Any thoughts on what I can do to feel better?
Since you have been using Xyloflo nasal steroids for temporary relief, I recommend adding a nasal corticosteroid spray like Flonase (fluticasone) or Nasonex (mometasone) to your treatment regimen. These can help reduce inflammation in the nasal passages and improve breathing. Additionally, considering your history of chronic sinus issues, it may be beneficial to use a saline nasal irrigation system regularly, such as NeilMed Sinus Rinse, to help keep your nasal passages clear and reduce the risk of infections. I would also suggest consulting with your ENT doctor to review your recent CT scan and discuss the possibility of further treatment options, such as a different type of nasal steroid or the use of oral corticosteroids in a tapering dose to help manage the inflammation more effectively.

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?
