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.
