Am I overreacting about hearing loss?

Hello, I noticed my right ear was extremely muffled last week. After about 3-4 days, I went to urgent care. The Dr saw clear fluid behind both ear drums and prescribed flonase. I went to primary care the next day for a 2nd opinion. This Dr told me to come back in 2 weeks if hearing hasn't improved. Neither Dr did hearing tests of any kind, they just looked at my ears for about a minute and that's it before prescribing me allergy meds. Ive had allergies my entire life and never had hearing loss. I've been taking my meds as I should and it's been 5 days since the urgent care appt with no improvement. I actually had tinnitus begin last night as well.

I don't feel comfortable waiting two weeks to get checked again, and feel im not being taken seriously. Am I overreacting or should I go back and demand q referral to an ENT?
