Hello,
The symptoms described by you suggest infection of ear and throat. Since the ear and throat are connected internally, infection of one site can reach the other site.
I suggest you consult an ENT specialist for clinical assessment and antibiotics to treat the probable infection.
In the meanwhile, you can take painkillers for pain and saline gargles for a sore throat.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
