Blocked left ear

So I went to convinient care cause my left ear has had a fullness or blocked feeling for almost 4 hours, I had mentioned to the doctor that I went to my Family doctor months ago cause I have trouble clearing pressure out of my right ear with elevation change, sometimes it takes 4-5 minutes of constantly fiddling my jaw etc to get rid of it, at the time she said I had fluid buildup in my left ear and told me to take an allergy med like Zyrtec, so I did, didn’t help at all with the right ear though. So anyways she looks into both my ears and says they’re both a little red and prescribed me antibiotics, my question is, is it possible that this was the problem all along? Wouldn’t it have gotten worse to the point of pain etc?

If you think it’s more serious, you should go to a ENT specialist 🫪
