May be: If there is no improvement after 72 hours, your ear remains painful or you develop fever, it's better for you to have your doctor recheck your ear.

Ear redness, a bit swollen, and fluid in it. Third day on 1g Amoxicillin. Ear still feels clogged, little pain, major dizziness when staying still for a while, lying down, head movements, and noise sensitivity. Is this normal for an ear infection?
