Hi I'm in the same boat. I've had a persistent sore throat just on my left side for 5/6 weeks now with a stabbing pain in my left ear like a constant earache. I'm always clearing my throat. I've got no redness or anything but I do have 1 big lymph node that is enlarged also on the left that's been there for around 12 months I have had 1 scan on that and they wanted a rescan but covid kicked in so I didn't get another appointment. I called my gp on the 15th of March she said gargle salt water it's probably viral. I called again this week and she said because of the length of time it's been going on she will prescribe me a weeks worth of antibiotics amoxicillin just to be sure there's no infect (I'm day 4 with absolutely no improvement) and if that doesn't work she will be giving me a referral to the ENT. My issue is I know they are not being very prompt with appointments at the moment and they are limiting things ect so I don't even know if I will be seen or if it's even serious enough for them to give me an appointment. 
 

anyway hope it helps to have a buddy who is going through the same thing I'm a 29f btw x

This is exactly what I have. One side of back of throat and ears playing up it went away for about a week then came back. No temperature no coughing bar once every few weeks tickling throat prompting huge coughing fit. Could this be some strain of Covid related virus?

Same here, sore throat 5 weeks, prescription for acid reflux. No change. Doing blood test tomorrow, then chest x ray then ENT referral depending on results. Worrying.
