Do you have a fever or other symptoms besides ear pain and hearing loss?
Most ear infections in adults clear up without medicine within 7-10days however if you spike a fever or are severly congested I'd suggest going to a doctor and getting fresh meds.
I get ear infections quite often, the biggets concern I have is eardrum rupture which has happened a number of times due to pressure from congestion. Also if it is a severe infection that doesn't clear up in a week or so it can spread into your jaw,brain, etc and then you're fucked.
*Note I am not a doctor and suggest you pay the money to see a doctor, without your health life can suck.
