Hello
this could be due to ear infection which is very common with cold in children

you need not to worry much
In my opinion you should consult a paediatrician for the examination and investigations like CBC hemoglobin and swab culture test

Keep the ear canal dry and clean
Hope this helps your child
best wishes
