I've just gotten over a cold, but now every time I cough or swallow, my ears start clicking and making noises. It's pretty frustrating and I can't help but wonder what's going on. Could this be related to the cold I had, or is it something else? It's really starting to bug me. What should I do about this?

View allI'm wondering if it's safe to use hydrogen peroxide to clean my ears, especially if an insect accidentally crawled in while I was sleeping. Is hydrogen peroxide effective and safe for removing insects from the ear? Im a bit worried and would love some guidance on this.
Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical and best to AVOID using it to clean ears. It can damage ear canal skin and cause inflammation.

I feel tightness and pain in my throat, especially when I swallow. I had deviated septum surgery before but now facing this issue. Could this be related or something else?
A sore throat and tightness when swallowing after deviated septum surgery can be normal due to the breathing tube and potential dripping of blood, but persistent or worsening symptoms should be evaluated by a doctor. It could also be related to other issues like allergies, infections, or even GERD.

I've been diagnosed with sinus disease and my doctor recommended FESS surgery but I haven't tried any first-line antibiotics yet except montek LC. My symptoms are PND, stuffy nose, and sore throat but no major pain or discomfort. Is surgery really necessary without exploring other treatments first?
It's generally recommended to explore non-surgical treatments for sinus disease before considering FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery). While FESS can be effective for chronic sinusitis when other treatments fail, it's not typically the first approach.
