Untreated ear infection

I took my 10 month old to her pediatrician today. I suspected she had an ear infection. She hasn’t been sleeping well, and she’s constantly got her fingers in her ears.

The pediatrician confirmed it. She has a double ear infection. The doctor said just give her Tylenol.

My oldest is prone to ear infections. She had tubes in her ears when she was around the same age my youngest is. Even with the tubes she’s always got an ear infection. Never has any doctor told me to just give her Tylenol.

The doctor said she would give her an antibiotic in a few days if she isn’t better... is it harmful to wait? I don’t know what to do.
