Hello Welcome in H.C.M. I have gone through your query regarding ear pain with swollen throat. Though you had been already examined by your doctor who diagnosed it as throat infection and eustachian tube dysfunction, but you are not satisfyed by above diagnosis. Here I would like to say that whenever there is swelling in throat there is possibility of throat infection but it is also possible that swelling of throat may put pressure on eustachian opening or opening of eustachian tube may be blocked by oedema itself as found in cases of allergy. Beside this one thing is very important that in eustachian tube dysfunction ear pain is always associated with blockade and echo of patient s own spoken words in ear. There may possibility of referred otalgia as well, i.e. real disease is some where else but patient feel pain at ear. these are- 1- Caries last molar tooth. 2- Ulcer and growth at base of tongue. 3- Acute tonsillitis. 4- Arthritis of jaw joint. All above listed conditions give rise to pain in ear and may be diagnose by thorough examination and relevent investigations. Regards.
