You seem to be suffering from acute suppurative otitis media which is a common type of middle ear infection. You may need to continue antibiotics for few days. Avoid entry of water inside ear. Usually hole in the ear drum will close in couple of weeks
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
