History: I have been diagnosed with Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD). It has been 28 days now, and my ear symptoms are feeling better than before.
Current Medicine: For this, I have been taking Monticope tablet once daily for the last 14 days.
New Symptoms (Side Effects):
I am experiencing sleep paralysis (unable to move while waking up/sleeping).
Continuous hand muscle twitching starting from last night.
Feeling severely depressed or low mood (mood off).
Since Monticope contains Montelukast, I am worried about these neuropsychiatric side effects. Since my ETD is improving, please suggest a safe alternative medicine or nasal spray to replace Monticope. Thank you.

I'm a 30Y male. About 1yr ago I had oral sex with a woman. Since then I’ve been experiencing sharp pain in my throat when I sneeze. The pain can be quite intense, around 7/10, and usually lasts for about 10–20 seconds after sneezing before settling down. I also feel like I have a mild sore or scratchy throat almost every morning after waking up, but this usually improves within 5–10 minutes.
I do not have any other symptoms. I don’t have fever, cough, breathing difficulty, mouth ulcers, swollen neck glands, weight loss, or difficulty eating or swallowing food.
I also do intense running regularly, so initially I wondered whether the symptoms could be related to exercise or throat irritation from running. I stopped running for some time specifically to see whether the throat pain would improve, but the symptoms have continued despite stopping.
I have already had a throat swab culture, which came back normal.
My main concern is whether these symptoms could still be related to the oral-sex
