Ibuprofen is the drug of first choice for ear pain, due to its anti-inflammatory effect. There are no contraindications to use it for more than a week. A worrying symptom is the fact that the pain does not go away despite the use of an antibiotic. It is true that I do not know how long it has been using. If antibiotic therapy lasts more than 3-4 days and you do not feel any improvement, I encourage you to make an appointment with the attending physician, who will adjust the treatment according to your current clinical condition. If you are unable to get to your primary care doctor, the gdziepolek.pl service also allows you to obtain a teleconsultation with your doctor: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja I also encourage you to read the article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/zapalenie-ucha-jak-leczyc-i-zapobiegac
