When Will Ear, Nasal And Sinus Infection With Congestion Clear Up After Taking Amoxicillin?

I have been to 2 doctors. I was prescribed amoxicillin to take for 10 days-30 capsules. I was diagnosed with an ear infection, nasal and sinus infection with congestion. I have been on the medication for 4 days including today.The sore throat has disappeared, both my ears are plugged and I am experiencing ringing in my ears/ head. When can I expect this problem to clear up? Will the antibiotics get the job done?My left ear had a bloody discharge for 3 days, my right ear was the one that had the infection but after it was flushed by the doctor the left ear became plugged up about 2 hours later and then the bloody discharge followed. There is no more bloody discharge from the left ear.

as all the signs and symptomps are same as written by you
the mucus plug in nose nasal tubes and ears is causing ringing in ears and ear discharge
the next line of treatment is t clear the mucus
a short course of steroids will be helpful more
add anti allergic tab to decrease the mucus production in sinuses nose and Eustachian tubes
apply neomycin ointment in nose and ear bd
use hypertonic saline nose drops in nose
nothing in ear
all the symptops will go when mucus plug is cleared may take 3 wk with medicines
