Hi,

First of all Rest assured it's not cancer. Sore throat or Upper respiratory infection may be associated with ear pain since the ear is connected to the nose and throat via eustachian tube, a ventilation tube is there from nose to middle ear. Consult an ENT Surgeon and it can be treated medically in most of the cases.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
