I'm really worried about my brother. He's been dealing with a nasal blockage for months now after recovering from Covid. He tested negative and was fine for a bit after vaccination, but now he can't breathe properly through his nose and has to breathe through his mouth, especially at night. It's affecting his sleep a lot. He quit smoking recently after a long habit, and his PFT results were okay, but he's still not feeling well. What could be causing this ongoing congestion?

I'm experiencing this ringing noise in my left ear. It was clogged before, but after taking medication, the blockage cleared up. Still, the ringing persists. Also, whenever I open my mouth, there's this clicking sound from the left side of my jaw. Could this be something related to my ear or jaw? And should I see an ENT specialist or a different kind of doctor for this issue?
