Hello.By the symptoms you say a possible diagnosis is infection of the middle ear.
If you have not improved with cefuroxime by mouth, in my opinion another antibiotic (for example cefditoren 200 mg twice a day, 10 days) can be taken by mouth for treating your ear pain. Go to your doctor to confirm the diagnosis of ear infection and prescribe another antibiotic if necessary. I wish you good health.
