Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your concerns.
Go to the InstaCare.
The reasons being: the presence of the blood and mucus in the nose, severe cough, and ear infection needs a proper oral antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and decongestant drops.
Ear drops alone for an infection has no role at all.
In addition she needs nasal decongestant drops and an anti-tussive syrup as coughing pushes the throat discharge in the ears.
Do not blow the nose.
Take full bed rest .
Complete the 1 to 3 weeks course till all the symptoms are abated and the ear becomes dry.
