Hello,
If your child is suffering from an ear infection or any ear discomfort, you are suggested to get him clinically examined by an ENT. It is not advisable to take a flight without consultation by an ENT.
Your child needs medicines & treatment. You have four weeks' time, he can get well by then.
Don't avoid seeing a doctor rather get him treated so that he has a comfortable fight.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
