I was at the doctors this morning and she said I have fluid in my ear, but it wasn't infected yet. She started me on Amoxicillin for a week but it makes my stomach feel weird. If it's just fluid in my ear do i need the harsh antibiotics? Is there a different way I can clear up the fluid?
Do antibiotics help with fluid in the ear?

You need a decongestant like pseudofed to lessen the swelling in the tube that drains the ear. It also equalizes pressure. It is otc but you have to ask the pharmacist for it. The amoxicillin is easier to take if you take it with food.
