What Causes Ears Hurt While Swallowing?
I was swobbed positive for strep two weeks ago, along with strep I had an ear infection; was put on antibiotic for seven days. That was last week. Now everytime I swallow my ears hurt. Is this a sign that I still have strep or is it just an ear infection?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that you had a ear infection and now it is being eradicated, but the dried pus and the wax if it is there this need to be cleaned because this could be the possible cause of your ear problem and for that you need to see the ENT surgeon to clean the ear, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
