I've been dealing with a cold and cough for about a week now, and yesterday, when I blew my nose, I felt this weird fluid rush into my left ear. By the evening, it started hurting. It feels blocked, and it aches. Should I be worried? What could be causing this, and is there anything I should do to make it better?

I had septoplasty about six months ago to correct my deviated septum, but ever since, I've been having trouble breathing and can't sleep at all during the night. My nose feels really dry, and it seems like the air isn't getting to my lungs properly. I went back to my doctor, and they said it might be an allergy, but I'm not really convinced. I've been reading about empty nose syndrome and wondering if that's what I might have. Is there any way to cure ENS or manage these symptoms better?

Thasnot true,dont be anious trust your doctor and follow their advice you can use normal saline nasal spray for dryness
