We almost had to cancel a FL trip when our oldest daughter was young due to one of her many ear infections. The doc bypassed amoxil and went for Zithromax since it works faster and you take it for less time, but the doses are time released over the same period as amoxil.

How long has he been on it now?  He might still have some residual pain from fluid even after the infection is gone, but some decongestant beforehand would help with that.
