Ear infection spreading?
Went to urgent care Tuesday with both ears severely hurting and drainage. Ear drums had not t ruptured but were very close. Was treated with two antibiotics for two infections in both ears. I am still experiencing same symptoms and has now traveled I think to my throat. I can barely swallow.

You seem to be suffering from acute suppurative otitis media secondary to viral upper respiratory tract infection. You may need to take antibiotics and painkillers along with antiseptic mouth gargle for few days for faster recovery. Usually 3 to 5 days is needed for recovery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
