Go to an Ear,Nose, and Throat doctor. Ask about a have a biopsy. I had the samea red soar throatlast January and kept going back to doctor because the redness and ear pain would not go away. After 5 different antibiotics in April 2005 the doctor removed my toncils and the left side was cancer. The radiation and chemo treatment was pretty bad and am still recovering from the treatment. I hope yours problem comes out better, but the point is if you think something is wrong don't stop until you get tests
