Dr. Ron Jones answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Ear Infection: Not uncommon for throat and ear infections to be together or follow one another. Forget the cancer thing. You probably need antibiotics. If you are from Texas, I will be glad to help you by Consultation. If you are from another state seek a consult from a doctor on HealthTap in your state. www.healthtap.com/DrJones YACZAZ
