Brief Answer:
You are having upper respiratory tract infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX ,

Thanks for the query.

As per your clinical history it appears as you are having upper respiratory tract infection with UTI .
If I were your treating doctor, I would advice you.

Plenty of fluids , Antiseptic mouthwash , Steam Inhalation thrice daily .
1) anti inflammatory , analgesic Paracetemol + Ibuprofen combination ,
2) combination of Antihistaminic levocetirizine + Leukotriene antagonists Montelukast .
3) Macrolide Antibiotic azithromycin . It will treat both upper respiratory tract infection & UTI both.You can discuss this with your treating doctor.
You are getting referred pain in ear due to throat infection.
Break tablet before & take them with lot of water.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

Brief Answer:
Yes chewing tablet will aggravate your pharingitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Yes, chewing tablet will aggravates your throat problem ( Pharingitis ) & increase pain during swallowing . That's why you are thinking it is because of chewing tablet .You have to break tablet before & take them with lot of water because while swallowing it will rub against inflamed throat mucosa & cause pain.

Common Streptococcal pharyngitis can result in Acute glomerulonephritis (UTI ) & many other organism can cause.

Hope this information helpful to you, take care and have a nice day.
Thanks.
