Serous otitis media: Consult your doctor to make sure you dont have any wax in your outer ear canal. Barring that you have fluid in your middle ear which is giving you the symptoms of muffled sound. It may take some time for the fluid to clear up.

Decongestants: You need medicine to open up the eustachian tubes to your ears. Call the doctor on-call for the practice, and discuss.

Germ dead vs ear fix: Your antibiotic treatment is designed to kill the germs that entered the middle ear space.They began to feast on the sugar/protein & water that was trapped when your eustachian tubes didn't drain well & created the pressure of the original infection.After the germs are dead, the inflammation goes down & hopefully your eustachian tubes will drain.It can take another 6 weeks in a kid less for adult.
