Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Its very common for the throat infection to spread to the ears due to anatomical connectivity. You will need stronger antibiotics like azithromycin or cefexime. Take steam inhalation frequently. If the pain is not tolerable then you can try paracetamol which will reduce the inflammation as well as pain.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:
