Be patient. The antibiotics will kill the germs in the first week. It can take weeks before the mucus retained in the middle ear during the infection to clear out & the structure return to normal. Ear drum rupture in an adult can require patching/care to fully heal so I would go for a re-check at 3-4 weeks to make sure this has resolved & see if the hole closed.
