Does Clear Discharge With Foul Smell In Ears With Bumps On Face Mean Ear Infection?

My 3 yr old daughter had a liquid, clear discharge a week ago, now the discharge stoped but bumps are coming out on her face and a foul smell is coming out of both ears and she rubs both ears a lot not just the outside but also inside now her fingers stink also, do these seem like signs of an ear infection? She got tubes put in when she was 18 months and now only has one but I m afraid to clean them out with hydrogen peroxide because I don t want to cause an ear infection, what should i do?
