I've been dealing with a severe congested nose and a persistent cough for about a week now, and even though I'm on medicine for the cough, there's no fever. My nose is completely blocked, I have sinus pain, and I'm experiencing a head cold as well. But what really worries me is this new bubble-like sound I hear when I breathe out, especially if I'm lying down. Is this strange noise a typical side effect of having a congested nose and sinus issues? Ive always managed to get over colds and coughs pretty quickly before, so this is new for me. Is it something I should be really concerned about?

View allI've been noticing these holes in my tonsils for a while now, and it seems like they're getting worse. Is this something that happens normally, or should I be thinking about getting my tonsils removed?
It is normal.. Unless you are getting recurrent infection you need not remove

I'm experiencing this ear pain in my right ear, specifically around the tragus area, and it only hurts when I touch it or sleep on that side. The doctor recommended Cetraxal online because of the COVID situation and mentioned it might be an ear infection. I've been using the medicine for a day, but there's no relief yet. I've had earwax issues a couple of times before, many years back. Could this be due to earwax again, or is it really an infection?

I'm really concerned because I've been able to see my epiglottis for about a month now, and it seems like it's sitting really high. I'm not having any issues with breathing, swallowing, or speaking, but I'm still worried about why this is happening. Will it go away on its own, or is there something I should be doing to help it get back to normal? Any advice would be appreciated.
You may be experiencing epiglottitis, which is inflammation of the epiglottis. In adults, epiglottitis is usually caused by a bacterial infection. It is important to seek medical attention for proper evaluation and treatment. Antibiotics such as Ceftriaxone or Cefotaxime may be prescribed to treat the infection. In severe cases, hospitalization and intravenous antibiotics may be necessary. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for monitoring and management of your condition.
