Hi,
Can you please let us know what were the medications prescribed by the doctor?
You have partially recovered from the upper respiratory tract infection. Also, it appears that you are having infection of the external ear (Otitis externa) or left TMJ problems. Try taking muclolytics (such as bromhexine/ambroxyl), pain relievers (such as Ibuprofen/diclofenac), saline nasal drops, steam inhalation, drink plenty of warm water and avoid chewing on the left side. Consult your doctor for the detailed examination and further management.

I suggest you call your dr back. It doesn't sound like the infection was completely gone and you might need to continue antibiotics. Also, you might want to ask your dr about TMJ (temporal mandibular joint) problems.
Feel better.
