You seem to be suffering from acute otitis externa which is a common type ear infection. You may need to take antibiotics and painkillers for few days for faster recovery which your doctor has already prescribed. Usually recovery takes 3 to 5 days.. If your symptoms persist you may need to take intravenous antibiotics
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
