Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain swollen taste buds can occur due to allergic reaction and it is commonly seen in allergies..
Sore throat and raw feeling in throat along with itching in ears seem to be more evidently due to throat infection leading to infection in ears as there is a communicating tube [eustachian tube] between ears and throat..
You can take a short course of antibiotics like Augmentin or Levofloxacin [only if not allergic],anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, anti-allergics like Levocetrizine, do warm saline gargles and steam inhalations..
Avoid spicy and chilled foods..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
