I've been dealing with a cold for the last two years and have been using Cetirizine to manage it. I suspect it might be sinus-related. Is there a way to permanently cure sinus issues?

I've been noticing these bumps in my throat and shared some pictures where they're circled. These bumps keep changing in size, and I've also got some middle ear effusion issues with my Eustachian tube. Sometimes, I feel a sore and burning sensation just on the right side, in both my throat and ear, which is the same side as the bump. I'm really starting to wonder if this is something normal or if I should be concerned about it. Any thoughts?

My tonsil holes are pretty large and keep trapping white stones. An ENT specialist suggested a tonsillectomy, but I'm really hoping to avoid surgery. Are there any other treatments or ways to manage this without going under the knife?
