Hi,
You are having a good treatment to your ear infection. I would like to know if the doctor has prescribed any local treatment (ear drops).
Usually, the treatment of ear infections include oral and local medications.
If they did not prescribed to you, you can ask or start the ear drops containing topical antibiotic.
Hope it helped!

hi,
As you are having acute ear infection and antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines started, wait for one-two days more to start effect of antibiotic on infection.
Once effect of antibiotics reaches at maximum you get improving your fever and pain.
Ok and take care.
