It may be due viral or bacterial infection with middle ear infection. until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use tablet amoxicillin and clavulinic acid 625 mg twice a day for five days. Use salt water gargling thrice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult with your ENT specialist he will examine your throat and ear then treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
