[|Human|] I went to the doctors last week with what was diagnosed as an ear infection, I was given flucloxacillin antibiotics which I admit, I have not taken properly, this week the pain seems to have transferred to the other ear and today I have woken up with severe pain in my throat and I cant talk at all without pain.  It hurts when I swallow and I have had to resort to sign language as the very act of talking pains in my ear and throat.  I have an interview this morning but fear this will not be able to go ahead.
[|AI|]  Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have throat pain and ear infection which can occur due to bacterial as well as viral infection and there is other factor also that is acid reflux, which also give such symptoms. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist if not getting relief with present medicine for proper diagnosis like swab test and viral culture test. Doctor may order stronger antibiotics, antiviral (acyclovir) along with decongestant and expectorant. For now do Betadine and warm saline gargles and apply Chat Doctor.  Avoid taking cold carbonated beverages and avoid taking oily, fried and spicy food. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
