HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If he has an ear infection this needs to be treated. Once the source of infection is treated then the fever would resolve.
If he is receiving treatment for the ear infection and the fever is not resolving then he may need to be reassessed.
While he still has the fever then it should be treated with an anti pyretic (anti fever ) medication such as paracetamol because he may feel uncomfortable.
I hope this helps
