Dear
Hello I am Dr Ravinder Sharma. On the basis of information provided it appears that you have a focus of infection in your throat or tonsils. I would advise you for a ENT consultation and a throat swab to come to the diagnosis. Pain in ear may be related or unrelated to your throat problem. Examination of ear will help in reaching the correct diagnosis.

I hope this answers your concerns. Feel free to contact me if you want further information about it
With regards
