Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

I have gone through your query regarding sore throat, yellow spot on tonsil and ear pain.

According to your medical history it appears as you are having acute tonsillopharyngitis with reffered otalgia. The yellow spot over tonsil is sign of follocular tonsillitis and this inturn had given your eustachian tube (tubular connection between ear and throat) blocked and thus ear become painful. To treat it you should take -

1- Tab Paracetamol.

2- Warm saline gargling.

3- Antibiotic (preferably broad spectrum).

4- Anti histaminic.

Probably above will give you relief otherwise consultation with ENT doctor is must.

Regards.
