Suggest Remedy For Pain In Ears

My right ear really started to hurt yesterday, only when I swallowed, but when i woke up this morning, my ear hurts all the time, especially when I swallow. The right side of my throat is also starting to hurt when I swallow. I ve had strep a lot and I does not feel like the same symptoms I usually get because this pain is mostly in my ears, not my throat. What could this be?
