Have severe sore throat pain for 2wks . strep and mono have been ruled out. was told there is fluid buildup behind ears. what is causing the pain?

The: Little communication tube that exists between the throat and middle is is plugged up by the inflammation in the area. The increased pressure on just the one side of the drum is causing the pain. I think there is time to see also an ENT doctor!
