Lost Voice, Greenish Mucus Coming From Throat And Having Ear Pain. Any Solution?

Hi I had a cold about a month ago, I lost my voice and all. I never really got my voice back all of the way, and recently I now have this yellow greenish mucus coming out of my throat. My voice is halfway gone again and on top of that I have severe ear pain. I went to the Dr. about five days ago, she said I have a sinus infection and she gave me some antibiotics. My ear is still hurting really bad, I can't hear anything out of my ear, and this smelly discharge is coming out. I bought a ear wax cleaning kit to try to get the thick yellowish stuff out, but I think I should have left my ear alone, because It seems like it hurts worse and is really clogged. I called my Dr she said it may take time for the antibiotics to work I have to take the medicine for the entire ten days and call back if it do not help after that. I think it's something else going on can you please help

Hello

Your doctor is right and you should give the antibiotics some more time to act. the ear also seems to be infected and the antibiotics will take care of it, dont worry!
I would like you to meet your doctor if you develop fever, vomiting or the pain does not subside in another 2 days, thanks
