I went to the doctor last week for pink eye and a blocked left nasal passage. I've had a sore throat with congestion for the past three weeks, which hasn't improved despite gargling with salt water, using lozenges, and throat spray. I tested negative for strep, flu, and COVID. Is there anything I can do to help my throat? It's starting to sound hoarse.

I've had a blocked ear for 7 days now, and despite starting antibiotics and prednisone, my ear still feels full. My audiologist suggested I may have a mixed fluid/nerve middle ear issue. What additional treatments can I try to relieve the fullness, and will these help before my upcoming flight on April 13th?
