Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Sore throats, swollen glands in the neck, and ear infections often go together.
One reason is because a sore throat and congestion can cause or be associated with an ear infection.
Another reason is because the presence of an ear infection can cause the glands to swell in response, and pain can radiate into the throat and mouth.
So, I recommend using an anti iflammatory medication such as Acetominophen to releive the symptoms.
I also suggest to use eardrops for local application and a throat spray for antibacterial properties.
I recommend to drink liquids and rest.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
