Persistent right sid throat and ear pain

I had a severe throat infection in December which eventually improved, but I've had recurrent throat symptoms since then. For the last two months I've had persistent throat pain, predominantly on the right side, pain when swallowing, and right-sided ear pain. I also feel some swelling on the right side of my neck. I have completed azithromycin and then clarithromycin, but the pain persists.

Nasopharynx block

The inner openings of my nose that connect toward my throat are blocked or congested. Because of this, I am having headaches and pain or pressure in my nose, especially when I bend down. However, I can breathe normally through my nose, and my nose is not actually blocked. I’m wondering whether my headache and nasal pain could be caused by something else rather than nasal blockage.

Septorhinoplasty

I need assistance regarding my septorhinoplasty. I would like to discuss some concerns related to my nose appearance and symmetry after the surgery and would appreciate guidance on the next steps.

Swollen lymph nodes on neck

I have a swollen lymph node on my left neck just above collarbone. Its mostly painless, little pain sensation when touched or pressed with fingers. its been there for more than a month. Its neither growing not going back to normal.

Constant sore throat everyday

Every day my throat feels sore. I have tried everything, including gargling and antibiotics, but my throat still looks like this. Is this normal? It makes me scared. I also have GERD, and I snore and mouth-breathe at night most of the time
