Brief Answer:
I will say get it examined, and antibiotics if confirmed!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

The first step is to get the ear examined. Your primary care doctor can do so. If the infection is confirmed, you will need antibiotics. Amoxicillin is my preferred drug for this. For pains, Tylenol and Ibuprofen can be of help.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me for more clarifications and information if need be.

Kind regards!
