I've been dealing with this cough for 23 days now, and it's getting really frustrating. I'm coughing up this greenish-yellow mucus, and every single time I cough, I can't breathe and start gagging. On top of that, my nose is super congested, my tonsils are all inflamed, and I've got this really terrible ear pain. What could be going on here? Should I be concerned about this combination of symptoms?

I've got this white patch on my uvula, and it's been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat all the time. It doesn't burn, itch, or hurt, and I'm pretty sure it's not strep 'cause my throat and tonsils aren't bothering me. What could this be?

I'm about a month post-tympanoplasty and I'm experiencing this persistent itching and some weird noises in my ear. There's also this internal skin pain that's kind of bothering me. When I talked to my surgeon, they said it's all normal, but I'm still worried. Is it really usual to have these symptoms after the surgery?

Usually it's not normal but in few cases healing process would cause those symptoms,no need to worry, follow your surgeons advice do not attempt to scratch or massage it.
