Had Ear Infection, Tonsillitis. Pain In The Ear. Have A Swollen Gland. Cure For Symptoms?

Hi. I got an ear infection about two months ago. i got tonsilitus three weeks ago, and noticed that before i got diagnosed, i had a pain in my right ear and a popping sensation. A few days after I felt the pain in my right ear, I got a swollen gland on my right side, which lead to tonsilitus. two days ago, I noticed a weird sensation in my right again, and now i have a swollen right gland again. I have difficulty swallowing, and although i know its probably tonsilitus again, i feel strongly that because of the connection with my ear and gland that it must be something else.

Hello
welcome to health care magic
Your assumption is correct,,there is a connection between middle ear and oral cavity through Eustachian tube..
Because of that tube infection may get transmitted from ear to oral cavity..
Consult ENT specialist and take antibiotics to control the infection according to him..
Don't get delay.
Hope you got answer from me
Thank you
