I've been dealing with nasal polyps for two years now, mostly in my right nostril. Hot drinks seem to make it worse and I'm relying on otrivin spray for relief but want something more permanent. Surgery isn't an option right now - what else can I try to manage this?

Nasal sprays, steam inhalation, allergy control, and steroids can reduce polyp size—consider immunotherapy if chronic.

View allI'm having a lot of pain on the left side of my throat and the back of my tongue over there, plus my left ear is aching really bad. I don't have a cold, but it really hurts when I swallow. What could be causing this?
Could be indicative of a condition known as tonsillitis. Tonsillitis is often caused by a viral or bacterial infection and can result in inflammation and pain in the throat, tongue, and ear. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen to reduce pain and inflammation. Additionally, you can try using throat lozenges to soothe your throat. It is also important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

From the last month or so, I've been having a sore throat, and when I checked in the mirror, I could see that the right side of my palatoglossal arch is red and a bit swollen. There's also a small white spot behind it. Is this just an infection or could it be something more serious? Google mentioned soft palate cancer, and now I'm really worried. Could you give me some guidance on what's happening? I've attached a picture for reference.
That could be Pharyngitis no need to worry consume warm foods and visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.
