Hi my daughter has been the exact same screaming her ear hurt/cheak hurt and was really warm and had terrible cough.. i put a cotton wool bud in her ear as she seemed to have alot of wax in one ear.. when i took the bud out there was blood on it so took her to docs who said she had bad ear infection and gave some antibiotics .. it was really bad never seen a ear bleed before it was scary,, but she is on the mend now.
