A member asked:

Left side of throat hurts when swallow for a couple of days, now my left ear and throat hurts when swallowing. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pharyngitis: You could have pharyngitis which can cause referred pain to your ear. I recommend you see a doctor to make sure you don't have strep throat which would require an antibiotic. Good luck!
