Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have ear infection . Well you are taking right medication , complete the course as per perscription properly and it can take around 1-2 week to fully get rid of the ear infection depending upon the severity . I would suggest you to apply dry warm compresses to external ear and keep your ear dry until it gets alright , which is very important and cover your ear while bathing . As the ear will get beter hearing will also going to be better .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
