Otitis media: Without knowing exactly what the findings were that caused your doctor to prescribe these meds it is difficult to answer you accurately, but if you had a middle ear infection and labyrinthitis causing the nausea and imbalance this does not sound unreasonable. Hope this clears up soon. Good luck.

It is complicated: Nausea usually is a result of dizziness especially true vertigo. It will not be fair to judge treatment decision base on such limited clinical data and without clinical examination.

Ear infection: Both of these medications can be given for ear infections, however, one is usually given for viral infections and the other is for bacterial infections.

Too little info: Without knowing more about your symptoms and exam, it is not possible to comment on the treatment. I will say that it seems like you were diagnosed with an ear infection and treated as such.
