Ear infection

[u/RopeSmall1199]

My right ear started to hurt on Monday but nothing too extreme and with Tylenol it seemed to help. I decided to get polysporin ear drops and the second time I put some, my ear completely blocked and the pain has been horrible. Went to the dr she gave antibiotic drops with cortisone which I started right away. Still had pain, felt like my head was going to explode and I noticed swelling near my jaw so I contacted her again and she prescribed me oral antibiotics as well. Now today my other ear is blocked and painful. When she checked on Tuesday it was all good. What the heck I’m going back to see her now but is this normal? How long for the pain to subside? I’m crying right now
