I've been feeling like there's an air bubble stuck in my throat for the last couple of weeks, and it's not going away. There's also a lump on one of my tonsils and it seems bigger than usual. What could be going on, and should I be concerned?

Question

I'm really worried about something crawling in my left ear and both ears popping like they do on flights. I've also been dealing with some clear mucus in my throat. I was given Montair LC and then Levoday, but didn't feel much better. The nasal endoscopy didn't show anything wrong, and my doctor thinks it's due to allergies. I've been using Avamys nasal spray and saline spray since my fungal sinusitis surgery back in 2015. I also try steam inhalation and the Toynbee maneuver, but after 2.5 months, nothing seems to help. I've even got jaw pain now. Is there any way to permanently fix this?

Question

I've been dealing with a throat infection for the past four days now and started antibiotics two days ago, but I'm not experiencing much relief. Is this normal, or should I be worried? Is there anything else I could be doing to help speed up the healing process?
