No: Throat pain is due to inflammation or pharyngitis. The Eustacian tubes enter both sides of the pharynx and will reflect throat symptoms in theThe Eustachian tube is normally closed but opens from time to time when we swallow, yawn or chew. This allows air to flow into the middle ear and any mucus to flow out. The effect of throat inflammation is apparent.
