I've been dealing with a cough and cold for the last few days, and just recently, my left ear has started to ring. Could this tinnitus be related to the cold and cough? It's really persistent and not going away. What's going on?

I feel tightness and pain in my throat, especially when I swallow. I had deviated septum surgery before but now facing this issue. Could this be related or something else?

A sore throat and tightness when swallowing after deviated septum surgery can be normal due to the breathing tube and potential dripping of blood, but persistent or worsening symptoms should be evaluated by a doctor. It could also be related to other issues like allergies, infections, or even GERD.

I'm really concerned because I've had this sore throat for about two months now. It's red at the back and hurts a bit when I swallow. I've seen a couple of doctors alreadyfirst, I had a throat culture which was negative, then the ENT specialist prescribed calithromycin or cliff tablets, plus a gastric tablet and painkiller, but that didnt help at all. At RML hospital, they suggested amoxicillin for 6 days and sefixime for 5 days, still no relief. I read somewhere that it might be post-nasal drip and was advised to try an anti-allergy tablet and a steroid nasal spray. Can you suggest any specific nasal sprays or antiallergy tablets that might help?

Take anti-allergic tab and steroid nasal spray for 3weeks...it seems it's due to post nasal drip...
