How can I get relief of an ear ache and headache?

I went to the dr. and found out I have an ear infection. Today is day two of antiobiotics (amoxicillan). But I'm still not feeling any better. My ear feels like it has a lot of pressure/water in it. It feels like it needs to pop, but won't. I've also had a constant headache for the past 2 days. I don't know if the meds just haven't kicked in yet, or if they're not working and I should go back to the dr. Any suggestions on pain relief?

1. It can take a few days for the antibiotic to kick in and help you start to feel better.

As for that headache, it could be a side effect of the antibiotic. However, I would recommend letting the doctor know what's going on so that they can evaluate the situation further.
