Hi Rachel,
Welcome to HCM.
Pain in the ear could be due to infection. I think you should not wait till June 2nd otherwise it will become worse and cause more damage.
if the pain in the ear is severe , discharge from it is pus, fever or decreased hearing then you need to consult immediately otherwise.. continue with the given ear drops and consult on the appointed date.. avoid of entry of water into the ear, swimming, etc.. maintain the ear clean and dry..
