I have a sore throat and it hurts really bad to swallow or talk it's hurting in my ear too and cough drops aren't help want else can i try?

Go see a doctor: You probably need antibiotics, steroids, or both. Cough drops are not going to help either a viral or bacterial cause of a severe sore throat. Referred ear pain is common with sore throats. You also need a prescription for antibiotics and steroids. I would start with a visit to a doctor.

See doctor: It is common to, have a sore throat and ear pain when there is an infection. You should see your doctor about this.
