Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The pain that you are explaining seems to be most probably due to throat infection only and as it is below the ear lobe it can be due to any infected lymph node secondary to infection.
So my suggestion is to consult an Emergency room and get evaluated and an examination has to be done.
If it is due to infection only then you can be advised another round of antibiotics along with anti inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen to reduce pain and also do cool compresses over the painful area.
Do warm saline gargles.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
