Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of right ear pain with swelling in and around the ear as well as pain in the throat which indicate that you have dual problems.
It appears that you have started on the problem with the pharyngeal infection may be with the tonsillitis which has migrated to the ear causing the ear problems.
The virulent infection must have caused the lymph nodes to increase.

I would advise you to get an additional treatment with a good anti-inflammatory medicines along with probiotics and continue on with Cepodem twice a day.
