How To Treat Chronic Cough,fever And Ear Infection In Children?

I had my 1 yr. Old son at the doc today for a massive barking cough and a fever of 102. It resulted in a very bad ear infection. But my mommy instincts are telling me the cough is something more. It is a dry barking type of cough and he cries like it hurts every time he does. He also sounds very hoarse. Could it be just due to an ear infection?
