Ear Clogged
Ear is currently clogged and in server pain. There is definitely fluid build up. I have been messing with it and trying to get it to pop by squeezing my nose and blowing air out. Pretty sure I did it too hard which is why it hurts more. I am currently on antibiotics for strep throat. My questions are: will the antibiotics stop an ear infection as well or do I need a separate prescription? And is it too late to try hydrogen peroxide?

You seem to be suffering from eustachian tube dysfunction which usually occurs secondary to common cold. It usually resolves spontaneously after few days. You can use decongestant medicines for few days for faster recovery. You need to continue antibiotics
