Doctor: Hi Dear,Welcome to HCM.Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having symptoms of tightness in throat, nasal blockage and heaviness in ear/head which could be due to sore throat , which can be caused by bacterial or viral infection. It could be due to Eustachian tube dysfunction which is leading to creation of negative pressure inside ears. Need not to worry.  I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order test like viral culture test , throat swab test and blood test to confirm the diagnosis and rule out causes like acid reflux. You should go for otoscopic examination of ear as well and start treatment after proper prescription. Doctor may prescribe antibacterial ( amoxicillin) or anti viral ( acyclovir ) depending upon the diagnosis along with decongestants . For now continue doing gargles and drink one spoon of honey mix with glass of lukewarm water .Hope your concern has been resolved.Get Well Soon.Best Wishes,Dr. Harry Maheshwari
