Suggest Remedy For Heaviness In The Ear

I need help. My left ear since Monday has been feeling very heavy. Feels like there s water inside it but won t come out. My GP put me on amoxicillin because she thought it was an ear infection but there s no pain. I ve been taking the amoxicillin for 4 days now (7 day course) and no improvement.What is happening to my ear? Please because antibiotics aren t doing a thing.I don t think it s tinnitus as I don t hear ringing but it definitely sounds weird.
