Hi,
If your doctor has already told its viral, then it will subside on its own with symptomatic treatment, only in some cases patient's can have secondary bacterial infection, and your ear pain is referred pain from throat, I guess your doctor mhas already started you on antipyretics, decongestants. You can also start salt water gargle (water should be lukewarm), after each feed, take care.
