Throat infection

Asked for Male, 31 Years

Hi Doctor, My left ear pain started by on 4th Jan, slowly, i could feel I was catching cold by 6th Jan. By Saturday noon the cold increased, had running nose. Parallely, my throat started paining. When i consulted a doctor nearby, got to know it was throat infection on 9th Jan. The throat pain is severe and after 3 days of medication, the problem is still the same. Would you suggest to get myself examined with ENT specialist or should i continue having the medication. I am finding it difficult to swallow any food other than water. Please help.
