I don't think undergoing sinus surgery is going to cure your brothers ear problem which is most of the times permanent. sometimes it may reduce number of infective episodes in ear. but hole in the ear drum if long standing won't close unless operated. endoscopic sinus surgery cost depends on the surgeon who is operating and centre where surgery is done. cost may range from 10k to 50k.

I've been noticing a bit of blood when I spit in the mornings, but it's not a regular thing and it isn't accompanied by any coughing. An ENT specialist mentioned it might be due to dryness. I'm also dealing with a mild fatty liver, but otherwise, I've been feeling okay. I'm in my 30s and just curious if there's anything else I should be considering or doing about this?

Yes as your doctor said that could be because of dryness or you might be having Dns or so..visit your ENT doctor for evaluation otherwise as the quantity is negligibke you can forget about it,stay hydrated.
