Give it time: You have had more than enough antibiotics for your symptoms and findings. After an ear infection, fluid in the inner ear can take as long as 4-6 weeks to clear. Fluids, rest and cool humidified air in your bedroom can help a lot.

Por antibiotic: I think you have the wrong anabiotic for your infection and that it's worsening you should be rechecked by your doctor.
