.: Sometimes strep throat will cause inflammation in throat causing blockage of tube to ear (eustachian) causing pain and occasionally infection. The same antibiotic forstrep will also treat for ear infections, so keep her on the antibiotics and give her some tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin for pain. If pain persists of if pain increaseing may need to see physician for follow up.
