About two days ago I noticed that the left side of my throat was a tad sore. Now third day in, it is extremely painful and it seems to be affecting my ear too. Recently, I had ruptured my left eardrum so I'm not sure if it is connected to that somehow. I can even feel where it hurts the most by just touching my throat. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? Could it be connected to my eardrum again? If anyone has had anything similar I'd appreciate any answers.
