Did s/he look first?: Ear pressure can indicate a middle ear infection (otitis media). If your physician looked at your ear, saw a single inflamed, bulging ear drum, and the prescribed an antibiotic, you are on the right path. Amoxicillin covers only about 60% of ear infections these days, so you may need a second antibiotic if you are not feeling better in a day or so.
