Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
This otitis media or upper respiratory infection or sinusitis inn children is mostly due to viral infection (EB virus, adenovirus,influenza virus etc) or bacterial infection (streptococcus, staphylococcus etc) or may be parasitic infection.
She might require detailed history taking and thoroughly clinical-ENT examination by a specialist which must have consulted before starting the treatment.
If her fever has gone now with the help of clindamycin as you said then you should continue with the medications along with symptomatic treatment.
Here,there is no need to be worried as it look to be having the improvement.
Do regular follow-up at your treating doctor.
Regards,
