I'm really worried because for almost two years now, it feels like a lot of mucus is just building up in my mouth and throat, and it's like I constantly have to clear my throat. But lately, the past month or so, I've been feeling this burning sensation down my throat, especially when I breathe, and it's super bothersome. My throat and chest also feel really congested. I haven't had a fever, but it's been going on for so long now. What could be causing this?

View allI'm having this sharp, sticking pain in my right ear that comes every 15 minutes or so, but it's really brief, maybe 2 or 3 seconds each time. It almost feels like something is touching my eardrum for a quick moment and then it stops. This has been going on for a week now. A few days ago, I had a mild fever and cold, but otherwise, I'm feeling better now. The pain isn't that severe, but Im worried if this could be the start of something more serious. What do you think this could be?
That could be ear effusion,visit ENT docotor for evaluation and appropriate treatment,and practice valsalva for better relief.

Can a sinus infection lead to post-nasal drip, or could there be other causes for this drip besides a sinus infection?

I have a hole in my right middle ear and I'm worried about the complications it might cause. Can it heal naturally with things like steam or other home remedies? How serious is the surgery for this and what's the procedure like? I'd really prefer a natural way to fix it if possible.
A hole in the eardrum (perforated eardrum) can heal on its own, especially if it's small or caused by a recent injury or infection. However, most cases, especially those involving larger holes, require surgical repair. While home remedies like steam or other similar treatments won't heal the hole, they can help manage symptoms and reduce the risk of infection. If the hole doesn't heal on its own or causes significant hearing loss, surgery (tympanoplasty) may be necessary
