Middle ear infection

Question

Asked for Female, 27 Years

Hi, I just recently visited a clinic & spoke with a doctor and was diagnosed with a middle Ear infection. He prescribed antibiotic pills . Was also given a paper with instruction that it should help in 1-2 days or 1 month and have to continue to finish the whole medication every 12 hrs. I called the clinic back and they said if it doesn't improve in 10 days i should call back.. It's been 5 days since I seen a doctor and question is ... Should it take less to clear up by now?
