Pneumonia: Your symptoms are suspicious for pneumonia. It may be caused by an organism that is resistant to amoxicillin or even a virus. You should return to your doctor for additional evaluation. If your breathing is difficult now, you should go to the ER.

Call the doctor: The fever may be related to the ear ache. It is important to know if the ear ache is the reason you got the antibiotic or did you have pneumonia. The doc may want you to take more med. You should probably be checked as not every one gets better on antibiotics. it may be all viral. Best wishes.
