Hello dear,welcome to HCM forum.
Fever and pain around ear following a cold may indicate infection of the middle ear and may need treatment with antibiotics and antihistamines.
So it will be fine if you could visit your doctor(though not emergency) so that we can have the correct diagnosis and treat accordingly.
Meanwhile,you can give paracetamol for pain and head ace(for dose we need age and weight of the child)
Hope this answer will help.
Thank you.
