Soar throat and ear on one side, swollen
I developed a soar throat about a week ago that wasn't that bad, but after a few days it got a lot worse. I have a pain within my ear and a swollen gland/lymph node. The symptoms are only on one side. This has been going on for about 5 days and I'm going on holiday soon so need to get it sorted.
