I started antibiotics for ear infection.
I started antibiotics for an ear infection 2 days ago. this morning I got up and started having an intense pressure buildup in my ear that is causing the left side of my head to hurt intensely. I am scared cause I never had an ear infection before and I dont know if this is supposed to happen or not.

You seem to be suffering from acute suppurative otitis media. Sometimes even after taking antibiotics pus may come out of middle ear by making small perforation in the ear drum. During that time there will be pain in the ear. You need to continue with the treatment
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
