My achin' ear

I started to develop an ear infection 2 days ago.  It started hurting pretty badly so I went to the doctor yesterday.  She gave me some drops, but I don't know that they are helping. It got much worse last night, and I got maybe two hours sleep.  I'm going to the doctor again this afternoon.
 
I can't hear much out of my left ear and the pain can get excruciating at times.
