I've been having a dry cough and some throat pain, especially when I move my neck. It also feels like my throat is tight. What could be causing this? Should I be worried or do I need to see a doctor?

Your symptoms suggest probably a viral infection. Please see an ENT specialist to get appropriate treatment.

I keep sneezing and getting a cold every morning no matter what I try - I've done alopathy, homeopathy, and ayurvedic treatments but nothing helps. One doctor mentioned I might have extra nose bone growth needing surgery, but said there's only a 50% chance it'll work. What do you think about this diagnosis and treatment option?

i feel that you have allergic rhinitis. You can start with a steroid nasal spray twice daily. If no relief, consult another ENT surgeon and get evaluated whether surgery will help or not. But allergy per se may not go away with surgery. You will need spray and avoidance of allergens.
