Should I Visit To Doctor For Ear Pain After Been Bitten By Child And Temperature Of 99 Fahrenheit?

My grandson is 3 and was bitten on his ear by another child at day care yesterday. It punctured the back of his ear a bit and is red. he complains a bit that his ear hurts and has a temperature of 99 farenheit. She has put polysporin on it. Should she take hm to the walk in clinic to have it looked at.
