Hello.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
It is possible that you might have Eustachian Tube dysfunction that causes fluid accumulation in the middle ear that can get infected causing ear pain,your ears may feel plugged or full,ringing in your ears etc.This is the reason why the antibiotics are helpful.
There are a number of tests that are used to diagnose a dysfunction of Eustachian Tube and some options of treatment.
I would suggest to consult an ENT doctor for examination.
I hope it helps.
Let me know if you have any other question or doubts to clarify.
