Hello,
Throat infection also cause ear pain -- called as a referred pain.
1st thing is u need to undergo ear cleaning procedure by an ENT specialist to remove all the ear wax.
Continue taking medication for 5-7 days if possible.
Antibiotics will take 2-3 days to act.
Start Steam inhalation 3-4 times a day.
Once infection and wax both subsides your ear blockage will recover on its own.
Next Steps
Continue Antibiotics
Ear cleaning of Wax by an ENT specialist.
