Pain/fever relief: It can take a few days for an antibiotic to clear an ear infection enough to reduce the pain and fever. I would recommend acetaminophen or ibuprofen to control these symptoms in the meantime. If the ear pain and fever persist more than 4 days, you should see your doctor again to re-check the ear.
