sore throat/"swollen" ears

About a month i developed a sore throat and "swollen" feeling in the ears, i've flown since then and its not been a problem as equalising the pressures via eustacian tubes is fine. Visited GP 3 weeks ago who reckoned upper respiratory infection and put me on a course of antibiotics (Amoxycillin). this didnt touch it though, so i returned and now on Viberox. Had aches and pains and night sweats (which GP reckons is par for the course) but the new antibios (3 days in) are not seeming to do anything either. Has anyone else had an infection like this go on for so long under such circumstances or should i start to be concerned? I am already, as this is a very new experience for me health wise and not a good one either.
