Ear pain and discharge

Question

Asked for Female, 26 Years

2 days ago I went to the doctors office with white spots on the back of my throat. I assumed it was strep throat. At the time I had no ear issues. My doctor gave me penicillin and a steroid for the pain. Now my throat has cleared up but my ears are awful. I have a greenish goo coming out of my left ear and my right ear is in a lot of pain. I'm still taking the penicillin until it gone. Will the penicillin clear up my ears? Is it a double ear infection? Should I go back to my doctor?
