Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
Ear pain is common in children with cold.
Ear infection also leads to severe pain with crying.
I advise you to continue the medication as per the pediatrician advise.
For pain you can give crocin or ibuprofen in prescribed dose.
Her ears has to be examined by the doctor to look for any signs of ear infection.
If there is ear infection, the dose and duration has to be modified.
So consult the pediatrician for reexamination and to look for ear infection.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
