What is sinus and what happens when someone has it? I keep getting colds from going out in cold air or sitting under AC could this be sinus? If I get sinus surgery, will it completely go away? Does that mean I won't catch colds as easily from cold air or AC, or will I still get them like a normal person?

I'm dealing with this annoying dryness in my throat and mouth every early morning around 4 or 5 am since November. I saw a doctor and had my blood sugar tested through a urine testit was normal. The meds helped for a week, but then the dryness came back. Also, I have this long-term nasal blockage since 2011 after a viral fever. I cant smell much unless my nasal passage clears up or during a cold. Plus, I catch a cold every month or two. I'm confused about who to see for this issue because online it seems like these symptoms could be throat infection, prediabetes, or sinus problems. Could you guide me on which specialist to consult and the right treatment to pursue?

I'm dealing with post nasal drip and allergies for the last couple of months and things got worse when I flew recently. During landing, I felt this terrible pain in my ears like they might burst. The ear pain faded by the next day, but now I'm having trouble with a pain in the right side of my Adam's apple when I swallow. There aren't any other symptoms. What could be causing this, and how can I fix it?
