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'm noticing a bit of redness inside my left nostril. There's no pain, just some irritation, and I've been rubbing it a bit. I recently spent a day in a house that's under construction, and now it's feeling itchy. Could this be something serious that needs me to see an ENT, or is there a simple solution I can try at home?

For itchiness and irritation, you can use saline nasal spray and if you have dust allergy, use face mask in exposure to dust or pollution.
