I've been feeling this constant sensation like there's an insect moving around in my ear. It's pretty unsettling, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could this turn into a serious issue, or is it something that's generally harmless?

my boyfriend has had really bad sinus issues for years his nose is always blocked, his cheeks get puffy, and he sounds super nasally. he also snores badly and has to breathe through his mouth most of the time since he surfs a lot. we've tried home remedies but nothing helps long-term. he can't afford major surgery are there any permanent or semi-temporary solutions that might work for him

septoplasty is advised,ent review.

I've been having this strange sensation on the left side of my throat whenever I cough. It's really weird because I don't feel any discomfort while eating or drinking. Should I be worried about this, or is it just a minor thing that will go away?

The weird feeling on the left side of your throat while coughing, without difficulty swallowing food and water, could be due to a minor issue like throat muscle strain, acid reflux, or a cough-related irritation
