Hello,
You must continue the antibiotics and get reviewed by your doctor.
In addition you need Decongestant tablets and if required on examination then decongestant nasal drops.
Due to cold the eustachian tube - a tube connecting back of nose to the middle part of ears get blocked and which causes negative pressure in the ears and fluid to accumulate.
This takes nearly two - three weeks for the swelling around the tube to go off , and during this period you need antibiotics and decongestants and also need to take care of reflux disease.
