Just a few days a ago my throat has been hurting (hurts when I swallow). I've been drinking warm tea with honey and sucking on Ricolas. My throat starts to feel better every day but now when I burp my left ear pops. And sometimes just out of the blue my ear will pop and it kind of hurts. I'm scared that I may lose my voice again. Am I getting a cold or an ear infection?

Sounds like fluid behind your ear. Otitis media it's called. Check with your doctor to see if you need an antibiotic.

See I have a problem... I don't have insurance so I can't really go to the doctor :(

Do you have a local health department?

No I don't think so. Not that I am aware of
