What does it mean when my ear and throat hurt on the same side?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Referred pain: Inflammation on one side of the throat can be felt deep in the ear on the same side. This is called "referred ear pain" usually it's an i fiction but if its not improving get it looked at to rule out something bad.
