Call the doctor's office. We don't do diagnoses: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=173247

Call the doctor and ask when you should start feeling some relief. If your ear feels worse, call the doctor and let them know, don't hesitate to go to an urgent care or emergency room if it is after hours if you feel it's necessary. Hopefully your doctor has an after hours answering service that can put you in touch with someone.
