I've been dealing with this cough for 34 days now and it's getting really frustrating. On top of that, whenever I move my tongue or yawn, I get this strange pain in my tongue and ear. And when the earache gets really bad, it kind of feels like there's air trapped in my ears. What could be causing this and should I be worried?

I've been dealing with some nasal congestion and was told I might have turbinate hypertrophy. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible. Are there any medications or treatments that could help shrink the turbinates or at least give me some relief without having to go under the knife?
