Hi,
This all symptoms are due to otitis media or upper respiratory infection or sinusitis etc.
In children, it is mostly due to viral infection (EB virus, adenovirus,influenza virus etc) or bacterial infection (streptococcus, staphylococcus etc) or may be parasitic infection.
If he has negative streptococcus test then it could be due to viral infection.
He might require detailed history taking and thoroughly clinical-ENT examination by a specialist.
He should be given antibiotics (macrolides or quinolones) to prevent superinfection and antipyretics with antiallergic for full course treatment.
So,better you consult ENT surgeon immediately.
