You seem to be suffering from otitis media with effusion which usually occurs secondary to acute Middle ear infection for which you are taking treatment. Usually it will resolve on its own within few days. No specific treatment is required
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
