Probable virus: This sounds like a viral throat infection with pain radiating to the ear and neck. If your symptoms worsen instead of gradually improving, examination of the throat, ear and neck along with a throat culture needs to be performed. In the meantime, gargle with warm salt,drink adequate fluids and take Tylenol (acetaminophen).
