Hi The prescription dates 31/3/2020. So you are still in the middle of the treatment. Also I get that your pain is coming down, but its the block that's bothering you. This block feeling is common in middle ear infection. Please finish the present treatment Take steam inhalation for 10 min after the otrivin spray.

Next Steps
