I had a clogged ear for a few weeks, that I didn't really pay much attention to. It was only clogged when I woke up in the morning, and if I kind of wiggled my ear around it would go away. I woke up about two weeks later and had a sore throat and slight drainage, and assumed it was strep throat because I had most of the symptoms of strep (sore throat, painful swallowing, low grade fever, ear ache). I went to the doctor a few days later (after waiting to see if the symptoms would go away on their own). She looked in my ears and down my throat, and swabbed me for strep. That came back negative, so she just prescribed me some cough medicine. But I didn't even have a cough! My ear pain continued to worsen later that night, so I just went to the emergency room. The doctor that saw me there looked in my ears and immediately grabbed a long plastic device, put it in my ear, and when she pulled it out, there was a HUGE ball of earwax on the end. It was seriously gigantic (to be coming out of an ear). It was about the size of a large raisin. After that, my ear pain almost completely subsided and my sore throat got a little better. She gave me Amoxicillin and another cough syrup (mainly for decongestion) and my symptoms cleared up within the next few days.
But these symptoms could mean a lot of things. You really just need to get checked out to know for sure. Hope I could help.

I have a lot of pressure in my head and my ears and throat are killing me what could be the cause?
Well all the symptoms that you have described seem to point typical sinus problems and even a sinus infection.Pressure in the head can be due to congested sinuses. When your sinuses become congested they build up pressure in the head and this in turn also results in your body draining mucus down the back of the throat (this condition is known as post nasal drip). When your mucus is infected and it is drained down the back of the throat it ussually leads to a sore throat/ throat infection. The pain in the ears is also as a result of the congestion, because your ears are connected to your sinuses throuth the eustachian tube. When the sinuses become congested we ofte nfind that our ears feel blocked. When there is a sinus infection we may even get earaches.
