For the past month i have had severe tonsil pain and hearing loss. i was seen and tested in the hospital for strep throat that came back negative. the pain is especially severe when i swallow. pain also occurs in my ears when i swallow. prior to this tonsil pain and hearing loss, i have had several ear infections in the same ear. i am currently not experiencing symptoms of an ear infection. i was seen in the emergency room a second time just a few days ago and was told that this extreme tonsil pain and hearing loss have to "run its course". My question is, is a month well past "running its course" and what could be causing this?
