What can I take for severe sore throat and ear pain?

You can take Tylenol to relieve the pain of a sore throat and intense earaches. If you are not pregnant or trying to conceive and do not have any other contraindications, you can also consider taking Advil if you are able to eat. Additionally, you can use lozenges for local relief. Make sure to drink plenty of fluids, either cold or hot, depending on your preference. If the pain persists for more than a week or worsens, it is recommended to consult a doctor and consider taking another COVID test in a few days.
