Ear infection
Both of my ears were infection, but I only felt pain in the right one (the right one was an infection inside the eustachian tube). So my doctor prescribed me doxycycline and plain mucinex to take for ten days. The right ear started to feel better about a day ago. I am about halfway through the medicine and now I am starting to feel severe pain in the left one. I am not sure what is happening. please help.

You seem to be suffering from acute otitis media which is a common type of ear infection during an attack of common cold. You may need to take antibiotics and painkillers for few days for faster recovery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
