Yes, as the pain from the throat and/or tonsils can be referred to the ear, or the ear itself can become infected along with the throat infection caused by strep.

Is an ear infection a sign of throat cancer?
An ear infection is not typically a sign of throat cancer. While both conditions can cause similar symptoms, such as pain or discomfort in the throat and ears, ear infections are usually caused by bacteria or viruses. Throat cancer may have symptoms like a persistent sore throat, difficulty swallowing, or unexplained weight loss, which are different from those of an ear infection. If you have concerns about persistent symptoms, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation.
Can an ear infection lead to a sore throat?
Otitis media (middle ear infection) is usually associated with upper respiratory infections -- pharyngitis, laryngitis (sore throat). The ear has a tube, the eustachian tube, that connects the middle ear with the oropharynx (very back of throat, behind uvula) to maintain pressure equilibrium with atmospheric conditions. Sometimes the infection in the middle ear can drain through that tube and irritate the throat...OR the infection starts lower in the throat or lungs and can ascend through this tube and cause an ear infection.
Can a throat infection cause soreness in the ears?
Yes, it is decently common that the bacteria or virus that is infecting someone's throat can gain access to the ears via the eustachian tubes, thus causing an ear infection.
What causes a shooting pain in the ear if there is no infection in the ear and the throat is not infected?

How Can a throat infection lead to an infection of the middle ear or pinkeye?
A throat infection, such as tonsillitis or pharyngitis, can lead to an infection of the middle ear or pinkeye due to the close anatomical connections and shared pathways of the respiratory system. Infections can spread from the throat to the Eustachian tubes, which connect the throat to the middle ear, potentially causing otitis media. Similarly, pathogens from a throat infection can also reach the conjunctiva of the eye, leading to conjunctivitis or pinkeye. Thus, the interconnectedness of these areas allows infections to propagate from one site to another.
