What To For For Ear Infection?

I recently got an ear infection with a ruptured eardrum. My doctor prescribed amoxicillin/clavunate potassium and oxofloxacin otic solution due to the large amount of discharge in my ear. My prescriptions will last me 10 days. Can i go to an amusement park and get on the rollercoasters once i'm done with the meds and the infection is gone even if i still have the ruptured eardrum?
