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 feeling a bit concerned because a long time ago, I got a piece of paper stuck in my left ear, and I thought it might have dissolved into earwax over the years. A few months back, I went to the doctor, and their assistant only removed some wax and prescribed some medicines. Lately, it feels like that paper might still be lodged in there, and I'm also experiencing tinnitus. Is there a way to check and remove this without using syringing? Im not too keen on syringing because Im doubtful of its effectiveness. What would you recommend?

Foreign body won't last this long in your ear canal,as you say you have doubt, visit ENT doctor and otoscopy done ,for evaluation and appropriate management
