Hi,
Your Son is likely to be suffering from Acute Tonsillitis with Otitis Media.The white thing the doctor is talking about is pus points on tonsils .The blood in ears actually means he has congested Tympanic membrane.
Your son would require antibiotics to curb the infection and antipyretics to bring down the fever.You could also give him warm saline or antiseptic gargles.
Bye
Take Care.
