I've been diagnosed with COVID on April 19, 2021, and I've recovered well, but I still feel like my nose is blocked. Is this normal after COVID? How long might it take for this to get better? Are there any remedies you could suggest?

I have nasal polyps and a fungal infection causing severe right-sided headaches and watery eyes multiple times a day. My doctor suggested surgery, but I'm worried about risks like losing my sense of smell or potential effects on my eyes and brain. Since it's still early, I want to try home remedies first specifically tea tree oil. How exactly should I use it for nasal polyps and fungus? I'm already doing steam inhalation 2-3 times a day. The polyps are only in my right nostril left side is fine.
To manage your nasal polyps and fungal infection with tea tree oil, create a diluted solution and apply it with a cotton swab, steam inhalation, or in a diffuser. Dilute 3-5 drops of tea tree oil in an ounce of carrier oil like olive or coconut oil, and gently dab the solution on the right nostril using a cotton swab 2-3 times a day. You can also add the diluted solution to your steam inhalation or an aromatherapy diffuser

So, I'm on day 12 after my tonsillectomy and up until yesterday, it seemed like almost all the scabs were gone and my throat looked mostly pink. But today, I've noticed that this white stuff is showing up again. Should I be worried about that or is it normal?
It is normal to see some white patches reappear in your throat after a tonsillectomy, even after the scabs have fallen off. This could be due to the healing process and is usually not a cause for concern. However, if you experience severe pain, bleeding, or difficulty swallowing, it is important to contact your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can continue to manage your symptoms with pain relief medication such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) as prescribed by your doctor.
