Hi , thanks for your query.
In my knowledge , it is true that you get referred ear pain during throat infection.
This is because tonsils and ears have same nerve supply . Because of this neural connection, , infection in throat can cause ear pain.
You seem to hace severe throat infection as your fever is 103.
If I were your treating doctor I would advised penicillin antibiotics with anti inflammatory medicines, beta dine gargle for 5 to 7 days.
All these are prescription medications so I would suggest you to consult your doctor snd discuss the treatment. Thanks.
