Am i promising to hold fluid contained by my middle ear?

I went to my GP a few days ago and he said that i had an infection in my ear strait and prescribed antibiotics. It has been 2 days since the visit and the misery isn't as bad but my hearing has deteriorated for a time (seems to vary each day). I had a small amount of fluid coming from my ear closing night but this has stopped and now my ear feel more congested and my hearing is muffled. I can still equalize the pressure in my ear (does this mean the eustachian tube is not blocked?).
ound out is,

A) is it more likely that the ear canal is swollen,

Thank you for your time,
