I've been dealing with nasal congestion and a sore throat for a while now. I've noticed yellow bumps at the back of my throat, and my tonsils are swollen and look like they're ripped or something. What do you think could be causing this, and how should I handle it?

I'm having some major issues with my left ear that are really affecting my sleep. I found out I have a middle ear infection and after going through a bunch of tests like X-rays, blood work, an echocardiogram, ECG, and a CT scan of the mastoid, my doctor is suggesting a major surgery. Can you tell me what this surgery is called? I'm also really worried about any health risks that might come with it.
