Lately, I've been dealing with some pretty annoying symptoms like itching in my eyes, which are also reddish, along with sneezing and a runny nose. I got a CT scan of my face, and it showed something about polypoidal mucosal thickening in my left maxillary sinus, with the left maxillary ostia being blocked. This has been a recurring problem, and it's really starting to affect me. Could you provide some advice or solutions on what might be going on and how I can find some relief?

I've noticed that I'm always dealing with one blocked nostril, and it's really odd because it only feels unblock while I'm taking a hot shower. It's not a runny nose or anything that feels like a cold. Could this be something I should be concerned about? Is there a reason why the steam or heat from the shower might be helping?

The persistent blockage of one nostril, except during hot showers, could be due to a deviated septum, nasal polyps, enlarged turbinate bones, or environmental allergies; consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT)

I've been dealing with constant ear blockages and this uncomfortable feeling in my throat and chest ever since I got over COVID three months ago. It's weird because whenever I try to spit, I get this sharp pain in my ear, throat, and chest all at once. I feel like there's something stuck in my throat, and it's getting hard to breathe sometimes. Could this be related to post-COVID symptoms? I also had anxiety and palpitations after COVID and was on ivabradine and Nexito Plus. Any idea what's going on with me?
