I've been dealing with this eustachian tube blockage for around 15 years now and it's really annoying. My ears always feel full, but there's no pain. It's messing with my hearing and making everything sound muffled. What can I do to get some relief?

I'm noticing some vertical purple veins next to my tonsils and the back of my throat looks inflamed. There's also a mild pain when I swallow. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that can resolve on its own?

You seem to be suffering from acute pharyngo-tonsillitis which is a common type of throat infection. You may need to take antibiotics and painkillers along with antiseptic mouth gargle for few days for faster recovery
