ENT consult: Sore throat often causes ear pain because of shared (cranial) nerves. You are young and nonsmoker. If it persists for longer than 2 weeks, then get checked out by a doctor. They will examine your ears and do a neuro exam in addition to looking at your throat. If the pains last over a month despite a normal exam, then get an appt with a local ENT who will do a more thorough scope exam.
