Hello,
You may be sufficient from otitis media due to bacterial infection. It is treated with ear cleaning under ENT doctor advice. Use tab amoxicillin and clavulinic acid 625mg twice a day for five days. Avoid water entry into the ears. Avoid cool drinks. If symptoms not improved please consult with your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
