Hi,
Welcome to HCM forum,
The symptoms you mentioned are suggestive of upper respiratory infection and possibly an ear infection. Its better you consult a doctor as her ear needs to be examined to rule out any active infection which would warrant an oral antibiotic else paracetamol is good enough.
Take care.
Happy to help.
