HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It would be best not to insert anything to far into the ears because of the risks of damage to the ear drum.

These should only be used into the outer ear.

It is possible that the symptoms are related to sinusitis (since history of sneezing) and eustachian tube dysfunction.
The eustachian tube is the tube connecting the middle ear to the back of the throat and has many roles including equalizing pressure.

The use of anti histamine decongestant combination would be helpful.

In terms of the burn with the soft drinks, the carbonated aspect of the drink can irritate the throat.
May need avoid these for now.

I hope this helps
