Hi,
It is due to parotitis or infection of parotid glands and due to that he also has an ear infection.
There is nothing to worry. Do one thing feed her light, give her soup and fruit drinks.
He also needs antibiotic coverage for few days to control infection. Normally, he will return to health back in one to two weeks. I suggest better is to take her to the emergency room for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
