Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain popping of ear along with sore throat are indications of ear infection and there can also be fluid behind the ear drum along with blocked Eustachian tubes and as you are already taking antibiotics it can however be helping although the progress might be slow..

Secondly along with antibiotics he should also take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen for relieving pain..

I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like otoscopy, x ray etc can help in diagnosis..

He can be advised antibiotic and analgesic ear drops along with oral antibiotics and painkillers and at times manual drainage of ears along with placement of pressure equalisation tubes can help..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
