I would call back and ask.  Swimmers ear takes a long time to heal but otitis media should feel better pretty quickly after you start on a medication.

What Rx are you on?

what kind of ear infection do you have?  Do you have otitis media (an infection of the middle ear, with pressure behind your eardrum) or do you have swimmer's ear - an infection of the ear canal that comes from swimming in too much chlorine?

Mineral oil. You can Google different ways to use it. My mom says to put it on a cotton ball and put it in your ear.
