A member asked:

My throat and right ear hurts together? what does that mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probable infection: The throat and part of the ear are innervated by the same sensory nerve. When the throat is infected and sore you can often feel it in your ear. You should see a doctor and have your throat looked at. It may be viral or possibly bacterial or strep.
